Listen, vote and share for older people

Everyone with an interest in improving opportunities for older people is invited to attend The Connecting Older People networking and funding event, run by Dudley Public Health.

It takes place 10am – 1pm on Thursday 24 November at Wellington Road Community Centre, Dudley. Employees, residents and community groups are welcome to listen, vote and share to improve the lives of older people in the borough.

Listen to ideas made by community groups on projects they would like to run to give older people opportunities to get out, join in and make new friends.

Vote on which projects should receive money from the Connecting Older People Fund. All project submissions should be received by Friday 11 November.

Share your ideas on what would help older people, how people and groups can work closer together and what facilities or skills can be shared.

The event is free and tea, coffee and light refreshments will be provided.

Book your place on Eventbrite and please help spread the word about this event through your networks.
