Our stall at the Blisworth Festival

We set up our information stall at the two-day event on 17th and 18th August 2018.  As a charity that covers the whole of the county we were delighted to spend the weekend in beautiful Blisworth, promoting what we do and spreading the word.  Our Information & Advice Service visits older people at home throughout Northamptonshire and our nine day care centres support people living in small villages as well as urban centres.

We were lucky with the weather, as it didn't rain, and our gazebo just about stayed put despite the gusty wind.  On Saturday visitors to our stall could have a go at our Name The Bear competition and win a fabulous soft teddy which was kindly donated by John Lewis plc in Milton Keynes.  On Sunday Yvette and Marian offered two rails containing handpicked items of clothing from our charity shop in St Giles Street, Northampton.  We rely on donations of unwanted, saleable items to raise funds to support our vital work in the county, so if you have a clearout, please think of us.  And every sale helps us help older people in our community.    

Visitors to the Blisworth Festival may have noticed our blue minibus driving around the village on Saturday morning, as Ralph stepped in to provide a free shuttle service for a couple of hours for visitors of limited mobility.

We are a local independent charity and rely on the support of people living in Northamptonshire.  Whether you live in Corby or Daventry, Ashton or Raunds, we try to provide services and support that improves later life for everyone in the county.
