The Network is open to local people over 50 years old, community workers, and volunteers from third sector organisations delivering a service supporting older adults within the Falkirk District area. The session will be co-chaired by David Paterson and John McGee, with support from CVS Falkirk & District.
We’ll hear from Eloise Wilson (CVS Falkirk & District), who will present observations on the recent changes in local authority eligibility criteria for gardening maintenance support, the potential impact on older adults in Falkirk, and how the third sector might help address these gaps.
We will then hear from Roy Kerr (Callendar Park Tenants’ and Residents’ Association (TRA)) who will share the TRA’s experiences, insights, and lessons learned on the opportunities and challenges of running a community group for older adults. We hope this spotlight will spark meaningful discussion and shared learning among attendees. There will also be time for members to share updates from their organisations, discuss progress on the Network’s action tracker, and explore ways to strengthen OPN membership and collective impact.
