These stories will be collected and shared during an ‘Older Persons Takeover’ at Cast, scheduled for May.

Cast invites over-60s to drop by the Age UK Doncaster unit opposite Sainsbury’s at the Frenchgate Centre between 11am – 1pm on Wednesdays.

Their unique tales will be woven into a celebration of wisdom, resilience, and diverse perspectives.
