Under the Full of Life Banner, the Government and other supporting groups are undertaking a wide programme of activity centred around UK Older People's Day on October 1.
Older People's day aims to raise the profile of the issues surrounding older people and our ageing society with a focus on highlighting and celebrating the contribution older people make to our society and economy. It aims to tackle negative attitudes and stereotypes by bringing different generations together to promote a more positive view of later life.
Independent Age is supporting Older People's day and encouraging volunteers to get involved. To find out how to go about organising your own event, visit the Older People's Day website at www.direct.gov.uk/fulloflife. There are inspirational ideas on events and themes and if you're not able to organise an event yourself you can check out other events near you that you may wish to attend.
