Older Persons' Month
Keeping Older People Safe, Active and Independent
Older Persons' Month takes place in September each year. There are a whole range of events aimed at older people during the month. These take place across Leicestershire & Rutland. They include a number of older person's meetings, leisure, sporting and health promotion activity days. Throughout the month, older people have the chance to talk about their experience with public services and any changes they believe would benefit the community.
The booklet covering the programme for September 2009 was made widely available and I will be very interested in any feedback on the booklet and ideas for its distribution next year.
The electronic copy can be viewed by clicking on the link below. Contacts in the booklet and much of the information are still useful all year round, so it is worth keeping as a resource now the main month's activities are over.
Please do get involved in planning for next year, and get in touch with any feedback, questions or comments from 2009.

Planning an Event for Older People?
Please find below a toolkit which was produced for those organising events for Older People's Day but which will also be useful for organising events throughout the year, and in particular for Older Persons' Month 2009!
I hope that you will find it to be of use.
