Older People’s Peer Support – doing it for ourselves!

To celebrate 1st October, International Older Person’s Day, instead of a week or two full of York 50+ Festival events put on by YOPA since 2005, Covid-19 has re-routed us online and we now have three events exploring the differences this pandemic has caused in the lives of older people.

AWOC York has gathered a panel of 9 speakers on self-help groups including ageing without children, a national self-help organisation, retired men, carers, end-of-life, table tennis, ballroom & sequence dancing, co- housing and telephone befriending. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion – a time to share your ideas on mutual support, what works and what doesn’t.
