Members celebrate with lunch and raffle in Wembley hotel
An organisation that looks after the borough’s pensioners have celebrated a special milestone in their history.
The Brent Pensioners Forum (BPF) marked their 25th anniversary by laying on lunch for 80 guests at the Holiday Inn hotel in Empire Way, Wembley.
As well as the lunch a raffle was held with prizes including a dinner for two at the Holiday Inn and lunch for two at the recently opened Wembley Hilton.
Brent MPs Barry Gardiner (Lab) and Sarah Teather (Lib Dem) also arranged tours of Parliament for other winners.
A 25th Anniversary Cake was presented to members for dessert.
BPF, which was set-up in 1987 and has 150 members in Brent, was created to bring older people together with organisations working on their behalf.
