Healthy ageing in North Yorkshire will be the main focus of the county’s next Age Friendly Network meeting in York on Thursday 3 April.

This time around, Network members will have the chance to find out more about the latest annual report from North Yorkshire’s Director of Public Health entitled: ‘Live, Age, Engage: healthy ageing in North Yorkshire’. Joining them on the day will be Carly Walker, a member of the Public Health team, who’ll also be able to answer questions.

Priority topic

The topic was chosen to reflect the results of a recent survey with Network members asking about key topics of interest. The most popular option for themed meetings was community support and health issues – with more than 90% of respondents saying it is a priority.

Planning for the future

The event will also offer a great opportunity to feed into Network plans for the months ahead – to help make sure it is focused on the issues that are most important to members.

A slice of cake and a nice cup of tea will be on offer along with the chance to meet other Network members and representatives of organisations that work with older people across North Yorkshire.
