GoCo Community Care is celebrating the role grandparents and older people play in the community with a Grandparents Day get together for residents to connect across generations.

The event, supported by Family and Community Services NSW (FACS), will be held on Sunday, 29 October from 10am to 1pm.

Grandparents, family and friends will be treated to a picnic on the lawn at the Gunnedah Shire Band Hall, with entertainment from the award-winning Gunnedah Shire Band and We Are One Community Choir; as well as a free tour and morning tea at Dorothea Mackellar Centre; and a tour and lucky door prizes at the Water Tower Museum. A jumping castle and sausage sizzle will also be available.

“It’s a day to spend time with an older loved one and to celebrate what they mean to you and the community,” GoCo Community Transport Co-ordinator Tammy Lumby said.

“The older generation has wonderful stories and memories to share, and we invite everyone to take some time out and enjoy a morning out for Grandparents Day.”
