International Day of Older People to be celebrated across South Leeds
Yesterday (Sunday 1 October 2017) was the International Day of Older Persons and the theme this year is: ‘Diversity of Older People’. All sorts of exciting events will take place across South Leeds this week.
On Tuesday 3 October we will be serving an ‘around the world’ buffet at Nesfield Centre in Belle Isle and there will be a display of work which has been produced by the people who attend the Reminiscence Session which takes place on Friday morning.
On Thursday 5 October we will be at Dewsbury Road URC where a lady from the Hamara Centre will be speaking about different religions and she will be demonstrating how to wear a sari.
People are invited to attend both sessions if they wish to do so. Why not come in fancy dress i.e. a traditional outfit from another country or wear the colours of a country i.e. red, white and blue.
SOUTH LEEDS LIVE AT HOME
There will be an International Tea Party from 1:30-3:30pm on Monday 2 October at St Andrew’s Community Centre on Cardinal Road in Beeston. You will have a chance to sample foods from around the world and be entained by local school children singing songs from around the world.
