Local MPs Ben Everitt and Iain Stewart are set to host an Over 55s Fair in Milton Keynes.
The free event will be held at St Paul’s Catholic School in Leadenhall from 10am-3pm on Friday 2nd September with walking sports groups, delivery robots and travel companies among the exhibitors.
The MPs say that the aim of the event is to provide advice and information from charities, businesses, leisure groups and more.
While it is an Over 55s Fair, the event will be open to all with exhibitors showcasing what they have to offer and to hopefully recruit some new members and volunteers.
Ben Everitt, the MP for Milton Keynes North, commented: “I’m really excited to be hosting an Over 55s Fair for people in Milton Keynes to come and explore different opportunities available to them.
“For two years we weren’t allowed to hold in-person events like this so I’m delighted we can finally get people and groups together to showcase the many different businesses, charities and leisure groups we have here in MK.”
Iain Stewart, the MP for Milton Keynes South, said: “I am hugely excited to organise an Over 55s Fair with Ben Everitt MP, something we both know will be of great benefit to residents. This includes me as someone who enters his 50s in the not-too-distant future!
“It is no secret that Milton Keynes has a growing number of older residents, so I believe it is important to showcase the many positive opportunities we have on the doorstep to improve our health, safety, wellbeing and leisure.
“Whilst it is an Over 55s Fair, please do not be put off if you are under the age of 55. There will be plenty of exhibitors in attendance showcasing opportunities that are available to you.”
