Age Friendly Ceredigion Launch Event
In celebration of International Older Persons Day, Ceredigion County Council will be hosting an event to mark the launch of Age Friendly Ceredigion on Monday 30 September 2024.
Age Friendly Communities are a World Health Organisation initiative: places in which older people, communities, policies, services, settings, and structures work together to support and enable everyone to age well.
The event will run from 09:00 to 16:00 at Council Chambers, Penmorfa, Aberaeron SA46 0PA. There will be guest speakers, a panel question and answer session, and community groups showcasing the good work already happening across Ceredigion.
Alun Williams, Ceredigion’s Cabinet Member for Through Age Wellbeing, said: “This initiative marks a significant step forward in our commitment to creating an inclusive and supportive environment for our older residents. Our goal is to ensure that Ceredigion is a place where people of all ages can thrive, feel valued, and actively participate in community life.
“The Age Friendly Ceredigion initiative is a testament to our dedication to enhancing the quality of life for our older population. By fostering age-friendly communities, we are addressing the unique needs and challenges faced by older adults, ensuring they have access to essential services, social opportunities, and safe, accessible environments.”
If you are interested in your community and would like to meet and network with like minded citizen representatives and community group leaders, come along.
