Orla Mullan, 28 Sep
This October is Positive Ageing Month, and to mark the occasion, Age
Friendly Causeway has unveiled its annual Positive Ageing calendar.
The month-long campaign aims to celebrate the contribution of older
people within our local communities while empowering them to lead full
and active lives.
The October programme is packed with a fantastic variety of events
which will take place throughout the month, includes activities to suit
all interests from guided walks, arts, sports and cultural activities
to online training sessions and employment advice clinics.
Welcoming the initiative, the Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough
Council, Councillor Ciarán McQuillan said: “Through our Age-Friendly
Programme we want to engrain the inclusion of older people in all
aspects of community life, remove barriers to participation, ensure
access to services and make sure the Borough is an enjoyable place to
live for older people.
“We want to achieve this by working with our partners, and it is thanks
to this approach that we have been able to collate such a wide range of
events which will be delivered throughout Positive Ageing Month.
“I would like to thank all those organisations and Council departments
involved, for collaborating on this programme of events. Please let
your friends know about what’s happening and bring them along to enjoy
the fun as well. I hope that our older people will find Positive Ageing
Month both informative and helpful.”
You can browse the full calendar of events here or copies of the
programmes are available at Council offices and local libraries.
Booking for some of the events is essential, so please check with the
individual venues for details.
