Join later life event

VALE Older People’s Strategy Forum, a voluntary organisation working for those aged 50+ in the Vale of Glamorgan, is inviting the people in the Vale to celebrate UK Older People’s Day with a special event.
A ‘Full of Life’ event will be held at the Penarth Conservative Club, Stanwell Road, Penarth, on October 1, from 9.30am to 2pm.
The annual Older People’s Day falls on October 1. The day celebrates later life and the huge contribution older people make to their communities.
Everyone has a parent or grandparent, colleague or friend who they look to for advice and to learn from – Older People’s Day is all about bringing older and younger people together to create better understanding and respect.
Information stands will include Housing Benefit changes information, Carers VOGC, Care and Repair, Advantage Befriending Project, Ty Hapus supporting people with dementia, Health Wales, Vale Youth Forum, Bop with Age Concern’s very own Octavia Choir, learn to brush up on your computer skills and get more from your mobile phone.
