Older People’s Day Eventbrite Now Live!

Posted on July 20, 2018

You can now book your place for Older People’s Day 2018 via Eventbrite!

Open to older people, their families, friends and carers, the event is part of a national celebration of older people’s achievements and contributions to our communities, working to challenge stereotypes and promote positive attitudes to ageing.

This year, in partnership with Solicitors for Older People, we’re holding our FREE event on Tuesday 2^nd October, 10am – 3pm at Falkirk Town Hall, West Bridge Street, Falkirk, FK1 5RS, allowing us to host an even wider range of public and third sector organisations who offer support, services and information in the Falkirk area. There will also be free tea, coffee and biscuits, activities and presentations.

We encourage anyone planning to attend (or anyone accompanying an older person on the day) to book their place via Eventbrite, ensuring they have the opportunity to meet the people they want to speak with.
