Guests, Dilys and John said:” Our congratulations to everyone at Futures who took part in making the Jubilee party a success, what more can one ask for in a beautifully decorated hall with GOOD food, GOOD company, GOOD entertainment and most of all everyone enjoying themselves.”
Youth and Communities Manager, Cathy McShane said: ” We are so pleased with how successful our Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations turned out. Everyone had a fantastic time and the pleasure and gratitude has been expressed through cards, emails, posts and in person. It really was a great day day and the hard work was absolutely worth it.
“Older adults are at increased risk of loneliness and social isolation and with this in mind, we have organised and hosted a series of social events for our over 50s with more to come in the coming months . It’s a perfect opportunity to socialise, laugh and engage with others, pensioners behaving badly springs to mind!
“Our thanks to the Mayor Sameera Saleem for joining us. Huge thanks to Luton Rising, the Futures 50+ club, Marsh Farm Fundraising Group, specifically Dave Crean, who is also an MFF Director and Ian and Tracey, MFF Director Anne Donelon and all the volunteers including Wayne, Maria, Bernie, Tasha, Sandy, Jenny and of course MFF staff for all their help and support.”
