Known to his neighbourhood as ‘Mr Handsworth’, Hector Pinkney MBE worked as a security officer at Handsworth Library, but his countless duties and network of contacts made him the go-to man for people across the area and beyond.

And now, not so long after he stopped working there, Hector is back at his beloved library – only this time he’s inviting senior-led members of the local community to make a visit there, for just an hour every Tuesday, for a gentle fun and free over 50’s exercise and keep-fit session, and above all, get out of their homes and meet people in similar situations.
