Following the success of last year’s Positive Ageing Roadshows, Age Friendly Ards and North Down, supported by the Public Health Agency and in partnership with Ards and North Down Policing and Community Safety Partnership (PCSP), will deliver another two roadshow events during Positive Ageing Month this October.

The Positive Ageing Roadshows are being run as part of ‘Positive Ageing Month’, which is celebrated every year in October. It is a month-long campaign of events and activities that promote positive ageing and celebrate the contribution older people make to their communities.

The roadshows will offer advice and information from local agencies in relation to community safety and home safety; and will offer guidance around issues such as fall prevention while also promoting opportunities to increase social participation, connect with others and stay active.

 Attendees must register at least one week before each event and are encouraged to attend by themselves or with friends.

The roadshows will take place on the following:

• Wednesday 4th October 2023, 11am – 2pm Kircubbin Community Centre.
• Friday 20th October 2023, 11am – 2pm Ards Blair Mayne Wellbeing and Leisure Complex.

To register for either of the events, email your contact details (and, if applicable, those of your friend) to agefriendly@ardsandnorthdown.gov.uk. Please advise if any special assistance is required or if you have any dietary requirements. Alternatively, call 0300 013 3333 (ext. 40336) or 07741 103277 (Monday to Friday, 9.30am-10.30am only).
