Older People Taking Action
- Spectrum Centre, Inverness
- 22nd October
- 10.30am - 3.00pm
Outside the Box Development Support, the Highlands and Islands Equality Forum (HIEF) and Highland Senior Citizens Network (HSCN) have teamed up for this free event to explore how community led action can remove the barriers to older people's wellbeing in the Highlands.
What is the event about?
This event is not about identifying the barriers faced by older people - these have already been well discussed. It is about learning from community led actions already being taken to remove these barriers, identifying the support that is available, and exploring new ideas together.
- Find out about the support available from Outside the Box, HSCN and HIEF
- Learn about some of the work already happening to improve the lives of older people around 'digital exclusion' (access to computers, internet etc.) and older men's health
- Share ideas and experiences and propose solutions
Who should attend?
People involved, or interested, in community led services that support older people, and those who run or fund services for older people. Priority will be given to third sector organisations and community groups.
