Damian hosted the first New Directions event at Alton College on Tuesday 11th April 2017, which brought together local employment, training and volunteering opportunities for the over 50's.

With more that 50 exhibitors from a range of local organisations, the day was very well attended by people seeking information on a wide range of opportunities. 

Alastair Stewart OBE made a welcome address, and Jane Devonshire (winner of Masterchef 2016) was one of the speakers that visitors are able to hear talk about their experience of taking a new direction later in life.

If you weren't able to make it on the day, but would like more information on the exhibitors, please see the attached guide.
