Ageing Well in Denbighshire

A week-long series of events has taken place across Denbighshire in the run-up to the International Day of Older Persons which was held on 1 October, to celebrate the contribution of older people.

This year, a series of events were arranged by the Denbighshire Ageing –Well Networking Group to showcase what support is available. This Partnership includes the Council, Age Connect, Alzheimers’ Society, British Red Cross, Care & Repair, Care Forum Wales, Citizens’ Advice Denbighshire, NEWCIS and the NHS and many more.

Events included sessions of the Lost in Art project, social events, arts and textiles, a ‘culture club’ for arts and dance and Talking Points sessions for people to get advice and information on well-being issues.

A social media campaign was also held to promote the projects and help raise the profile of issues relating to older people.  You can see the social media videos below.
