October is Positive Ageing Month

October is Positive Ageing Month
 

During October we celebrate the contribution those 50 years and over make to their communities. During Positive Ageing Month we host events where residents can receive advice helping them keep active, connected and healthy. We are thrilled to present an exciting menu of activities just for you this October.

We have also created Positive Ageing Month Booklet which is a treasure trove of events and activities planned by local community groups and the Council, not just in the month of October, but beyond.
