On Friday 1st August, Walsall's New Deal 50 Plus Forum will be launching their Directory of Services for Over 50's. The launch event will be held at the Blakenall Village Centre, Thames Road, Blakenall, between 10.00 and 11.30am. The event will give partners and services users the opportunity to view the new directory that provides information on services and social opportunities for people who are over 50. Flo Smith, Chairperson of New Deal 50 Plus Forum said; "This directory will be a useful tool for elderly people that is easily accessible and provides useful information about services that are available for our residents."
