If you like dance, be inspired at Dance City’s ‘Inspire Platform’ event on the evening of 5 October or if you prefer music, Royal Northern Sinfonia are offering a dementia-friendly performance of chamber music by Elgar and Mozart at lunch time on 16 October.
If you want to find out how well you are ageing, and what you can do to improve your chances of ageing well, come and listen to Professor Peter Gore talking about the LifeCurve App on the morning of 24 October at the Campus for Ageing and Vitality.
AND, don’t miss the opportunity to make a noise for older people’s day by joining the Active Voices group and John Grundy on the morning of 9 October at the Grainger Market and Space 2 (Pilgrim Street) [free coffee and cake on offer!].
