These regular sessions are beneficial for our mind, body, and soul.

We were delighted to welcome, Charlotte and Shannan from the local branch of Yorkshire Building Society in Wisbech and David a cyber-crime specialist with Cambridgeshire police, who held a workshop to sharing key tips on how to avoid common financial scams and fraud. A topical issue that often affects the elderly, the experts demonstrated how to recognise a scam, and the correct way to respond and report them.

The talk discussed how scams are disguised, and can occur in person, by phone, by post, by email, and even through social media. Guests shared their own scamming experiences and recovery strategies

Following the workshop, our experts were on hand to then take and answer further questions from the audience.
