Christopher Duff represented Age UK Northamptonshire at
a roundtable meeting in December, with Mike Reader MP for
Northampton South and the Minister of State for Women and
Equalities Anneliese Dodds MP. The event at Delapre Abbey aimed
to discuss and highlight equality based issues in the constituency,
and was a chance for the MPs to hear about the work and priorities
of local voluntary organisations.
We are always pleased to give talks
about our services at sheltered
housing schemes in the county.
In December we were
delighted to meet Roger and
Claire in Rothwell.
