‘Safe in Hounslow’, a two-day marketplace information event is coming to Hounslow House this November.
Safe in Hounslow takes place on Monday, 18 November and Tuesday, 19 November, from 10am to 2pm in Hounslow House. This event will bring council services, local charities, providers, and residents together to offer information that allows residents to stay safe in relationships, with money, at home, at work, online and when out and about.
On Tuesday 19 November, whilst at ‘Safe in Hounslow’, take part in ‘The Great Slipper Swap’. Residents are encouraged to bring in their old, worn-out slippers and exchange them for a brand-new pair, free of charge. The new slippers provided feature secure fastenings and sturdy soles, which will help prevent serious injury from falls. These new slippers are subject to size availability and will operate on a first come first served basis. As well as the Big Slipper Swap, there will be other useful giveaways!
