“Age Is Just A Number”: THANK YOU!

Posted on October 3, 2019

We at CVS Falkirk would like to thank all of our stallholders, suppliers and especially our attendees, and everyone else who joined us for our Older People’s Day event, “Age Is Just A Number”, on Tuesday!

(Image Caption: the words “Thank You!” in block white text against a white background, outlined in colourful bursts of confetti.)

A special thanks has to go to our partners at Solicitors for Older People Scotland (SOPS) and our fantastic venue Falkirk Trinity Church (and their café!). Without them, the event wouldn’t have been possible.

Thank you all for coming together with us to celebrate older people in Falkirk and the surrounding areas, to share resources and knowledge, and to prove that age really is just a number!

We look forward to seeing you all next time.
