“Age Is Just A Number” Times Confirmed

Posted on August 23, 2019

We can now confirm that our FREE “Age Is Just A Number” event will take place 10am – 2pm on Tuesday 1^st October.

This year’s event, taking place at Falkirk Trinity Church for the first time, will focus on “Keeping Safe and Well in Your Community”, and we’re accepting stallholders requests from organisations and groups in Falkirk who fit that theme!

In addition to the ever-popular blood pressure and hearing checks, attendees who use a hearing aid can bring along their little yellow Audiology book and be able to have their hearing aid batteries replaced at the event.

So if your team delivers activities or services in the Falkirk area to older people, their families, friends, carers and wider social circles, get in touch!

To request a stall, or for further information, please contact Laura Jamieson by phone: 01324 692003, or email: laura@cvsfalkirk.org.uk
