Connect Hackney

The winter 2018 issue of Hackney Senior – the magazine by older people, for older people in Hackney – is out now

The quarterly publication from Connect Hackney includes real-life stories and reports by local over 50s, with lots of information about social activities and groups that older people can join to have fun and make new friends.

This issue of Hackney Senior features stories by members of our Senior Citizens’ Media Group, including Carlton’s take on hitting the grand old age of 52, Edilia’s bucket list, George’s early musical experience and much more.

You can find lots of free and low-cost events, clubs and classes for local over 50s in our six pages of local “What’s on” listings – find something that’s fun for you!

You can view or download the magazine here – or get in touch to request the full-colour printed magazine for yourself or any older Hackney residents you know.

Just email kim-lien@connecthackney.org.uk or phone Kim on 020 7923 1962 to get a free copy of the magazine in the post.
