UK Older People’s Day: 1 October 2009

This year’s theme - Bringing People Together

UK Older People’s Day will take place on 1 October 2009 with the theme of ‘Bringing People Together’.  This could be an opportunity to promote and celebrate your project and volunteers. Some 900 local events took place across the UK in 2008.  The aim of the day is to highlight the contribution older people make to our society and economy and tries to tackle negative attitudes and stereotypes by bringing different generations together to promote a more positive view of later life. If you have ideas and suggestions or want to find out more about planned activities contact The Full of Life team at Grayling on 020 7255 1100 or email fulloflife@uk.grayling.com. Online resources and support will be available at a later date.
