Cllr Sam Clark, Golden Age team leader, said: “We’re always delighted to enable these events with the support of so many partners to bring vital help and information to over 60s in our communities.”

These events have been made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Fenland District Council, Whittlesey Town Council, and Tydd St Giles Parish Council.

Mac’s Golden Age events, initiated in 2003 by the late Cllr Mac Cotterell MBE, are held throughout the year across the district to provide invaluable support for the elderly.
