Small screen snippets and Gold Card are top topics
14 May 2008
Learn more about the changes to Derbyshire County Council’s Gold Card scheme as well as getting a taste of the small screen during a 50 plus forum event next month.
Belper District 50+ forum is holding an open meeting on Friday 20 June at Belper Town Football Club between 10am to 12.30pm.
There will be two guest speakers. Stephen Lilley, a well known local figure from new local television channel Belper TV will be talking about his experiences.
Heather Thomas from Derbyshire County Council will also be attending the event to talk about the Gold Card scheme and answer any questions.
Light refreshments are available during the event.
The Belper District 50+ forum is one of 14 forums across the county that are up and running and supported by Derbyshire County Council and its well-being team.
The forums meet on a regular basis to discuss various topics, listen to speakers, plan action campaigns and swap ideas and views.
All the forums have been helped to set up by the council’s well-being team which helps members with administration and organising meetings as well as providing financial support.
Derbyshire County Council’s cabinet member for adult social services David Allen said: “The 50 plus forums are a great place for people to meet up.
“As well as offering a wide variety of advice and information they are an opportunity for people to discuss any thoughts or concerns they might have.”
