At the launch of the 2013 Caring Neighbour Award Scheme, Havering Over 50’s Forum were very pleased to welcome an impressive guest list and also received good wishes and support from those who were unable to attend due to other commitments.

Apart from the public, guests included the Mayor of Havering, Councillor Eric Munday; Chief Inspector, David Hay; Councillors and Senior Officers of the Local Authority, also Chief Executives from the Voluntary Sector and Community groups, and not least the sponsors of the event, Pinney Talfourd LLB, Frank Rivett & Sons and the Community Police Consultative Group.  Our guests were entertained by a local pianist Davide Di Blasio and afternoon tea was catered for by the Queens Theatre.

Impressively through our guests on the day, 3600 nomination forms have been distributed and within 24 hours the first nominations were received and continue to arrive.  We look forward to a Summer of recognising the community spirit that exists in the Borough and intend to celebrate this at an Awards Ceremony in October. So on behalf of the Executive Committee we would like to thank everybody for being involved.
