We have all faced many challenges over the last 18 months and COVID has led to increased loneliness and isolation for older people. This year’s National Older People’s Day event is to demonstrate the resilience of older people in our community and the great work of voluntary organisations and community groups who have supported older people during difficult times.
To find out more about the programme of the day, which will include origami, dance, tai chi and physiotherapy exercises, and to download a copy of the flyer, please click on the links below:
As a reminder, Covid guidance will be in place throughout the day to keep everyone safe – hand, space, face.
Feel free to share with your networks and community contacts.
