Learn to make a Hench Bench event at Rainham Hall – Sat 20 Sept
“Master craftsmen – East London Furniture – will be running a short course teaching people how to make a Hench Bench which will be used to help furnish Rainham Hall when it opens next year. It’s a really exciting opportunity to learn a new skill or perhaps practise a skill you already have, and at the same create something which will be used by visitors to Rainham Hall when it opens. They will also be teaching people how to make smaller wooden objects which can be taken home. If the weather is nice the event will take place in the gardens, and in the event of wet weather we’ll use the church hall just behind the gardens.
If you would be interested in making a bench then please get in touch to book a place by emailing rainhamhall@nationaltrust.org.uk or calling 01708 525 579. Alternatively you can just turn up on the day and learn how to make a smaller object. The event is free and there are no age restrictions -if you would like to bring children along then please make sure you will be available to supervise them.”

Write to the Prime Minister to help create a Minister for Older People
We strongly believe there should now be a Minister for Older people. Attached are 2 draft letters one for Havo50 forum members and one for Havering residents.
Following the Havering show we are still getting a lot of support for this initiative so please fill in one of the forms below.
Please sign the letter and get them to us at the Forum.
You can do this by bringing them to the forum which is at 10:30 on the second Tuesday of each month in the Town Hall Council Chamber, emailing to info@havo50forum.org or post to:
FAO Havering Over 50s Forum
C/O Town Hall reception
London Borough of Havering
Town Hall
Main Road
Romford

Don’t forget to get your friends and relatives to sign them as well.
Please choose one, fill in your name and address and return as above.
There is a Minister for Children and rightly so as their needs are different from adults and one for People with Disabilities whose needs are different again. Why not A Minister for Older People whose needs can be complex and are not covered anywhere else.
This age group has a great influence across the Country whether it be knowledge or experience and provide the most volunteers of any other age group. Older people can live as fulfilling a life as they are able by looking after their cultural, social and economic interests as far as possible. They should be looked on not as a burden, but as a group to engage and raise issues with their own dedicated Minister.
Many areas across the country have a large elderly population, particularly here in Havering, which has possibly the largest percentage of elderly people in all the London Boroughs, approximately one third of our 250,000 population are over 50 with a significant number over 80. We consider that we are not properly represented in Parliament.
