Older People’s Month for 2010

Older People’s Month for 2010 was launched at Age Concern’s Clarence House in Leicester on August 26th . The event runs until October with hundreds of events planned across the county and city.

The day opened with Tony Donovan, Chief Executive of Leicester Shire and Rutland talking about staying active in retirement, followed by local comedian Ishi Khan-Jackson helping the audience to benefit from laughter.

Did you know that laughter can be as good for you as going to the gym? There were information stalls from many organisations (including CareOnLine ) and a range of activities to enjoy, ending with a singalong from event organiser Liz McGregor, Engagement Officer (Older People) at CVS Community Partnership.

Clarence House has a newly refurbished restaurant and many of the attendees took advantage of the range of meals at lunchtime. The food is certainly worth a try if you are in Leicester.
