Get involved to help make a difference

Working in partnership with North Yorkshire Council, we are developing a network for older people living in North Yorkshire to provide an independent representative voice. We want to help encourage an age friendly community across the county where people can live healthy and active lives.

Together with our network members, we will talk to local service providers, share information, raise the issues that really matter and work to make change happen.

To find out more about the Network have a look at our leaflet by clicking on the image. The leaflet can also be downloaded here.

Upcoming Network meetings

Network meetings give members an opportunity to learn more about important issues, offer personal views and insights to help inform the Network’s representative work, and meet other members including organisations working with older people across North Yorkshire. They are open to all members and people interested in joining the Network.

Spring meeting

The next meeting is on Thursday 3 April at the Bar Convent in York from 2-4pm. The focus will be on  the latest annual report from North Yorkshire’s Director of Public Health entitled: ‘Live, Age, Engage: healthy ageing in North Yorkshire’.
