Bracknell

Clients from centres for older people in Bracknell Forest are having a Caribbean themed party on Wednesday, June 21.

Heathlands, Downside, Ladybank and the Bracknell Age Concern Day Centre are joining together to enjoy the music of Birmingham-based trio Steel and Strings.

There will be themed food and drink, and staff will be dressing up to add to the atmosphere. The Mayor of the Borough of Bracknell Forest Cllr Cliff Thompson will also be attending.

It is the second time Heathlands has hosted the band - who mainly work on cruise ships, after a successful party last year.

Steel and Strings were discovered by Heathlands centre manager Linda Parsons on a cruise two years ago.

She said: The party is really different to the other events we hold throughout the year, and was so popular last year we decided to hold it again.”

Cllr Dale Birch, Executive Member for Bracknell Adult Services, Health Commissioning and Housing, said: It is great to see events like the Caribbean party taking place for older people who use our residential and day services.

”I’m sure a fantastic day will be had by all.”
