Following a great day there in 2024, Near FM returned to Golden Years on October 31st for their Halloween party. A few of the members spoke about their memories of living in the area and how they enjoy their daily/weekly visits to Golden Years to meet up with the friends they have met there. The manager Karen Pritchard spoke about the centre and how much she and the other members of staff enjoy their time working there with all the members and what activities they do on a daily basis. This was Near FM’s 4th year to be invited down.
