About this Event
Our Age Friendly Cotswolds - Rethinking Ageing event will bring together professionals, volunteers, community groups and organisations working with older people across the Cotswolds. It will be an opportunity to share ideas, hear about good practice, and explore how we can work together to create more inclusive, connected age friendly communities. There will be speakers and interactive workshops to help participants gain insights into the challenges and opportunities facing older residents, while building partnerships and networks that help people to thrive as they age.
The event will feature keynote speakers Siobhan Farmer, Director of Public Health, Gloucestershire County Council and Sarah Scott - Executive Director of Adult Social Care, Wellbeing and Communities, Gloucestershire County Council. They will be joined by other speakers (to be announced) alongside opportunities for discussion, networking and collaboration.
