Happy birthday Age Concern

A voluntary organisation has celebrated a quarter of a century of helping elderly people with a day-long party.
Members and staff from Brent Age Concern attended Brent Town Hall's Paul Daisley Hall, to listen to speakers and musical perfromances on Thursday (29).
Among those paying tribute to the hard work of the local charity was Barry Gardiner, MP for Brent North (Labour).
He said: "Twenty-five years have past but Age Concern is absolutely as important now as it was then.
"Older people have given service, have cared for others and were even prepared to fight and die for our country, so they deserve respect in their old age."
The charity in Brent began in 1983 from just one desk in Craven Park Road in Harlesden and the site is still used today as a charity shop.
