Since our inaugural meeting in 2009, the Clay Cross and Surrounding Communities 50+ Forum has gone from strength to strength. Members come from across the area, including Danesmoor, Holmgate, Old and New Tupton, Wingerworth, Wessington, Grassmoor, Pilsley, North Wingfield and Shirland.
Our forum is a great way to:
- stay informed about local services and developments
- meet new people and build community connections
- hear from organisations and professionals on topics that affect everyday life
- have your say on issues that matter to local people
- take part in activities, trips and community projects
- support and celebrate intergenerational work with local schools
We are a friendly and welcoming group and are always pleased to see new faces.
What to expect at our meetings
Our open forum meetings provide a friendly and welcoming opportunity for people aged 50 and over to come together, learn about local issues and services, and have their voices heard. Each session typically includes:
- guest speakers covering a range of interesting and relevant topics
- open discussions on local issues, community projects and services
- opportunities to share ideas and experiences with others
- quizzes, activities and interactive sessions
- refreshments provided, with time to chat and socialise
Meeting and events
The forums management committee is constantly working to inform and represent the views of the 50+ community. If there are any topics or issues you would like to raise or there are things you would like to see at future open forums, please let us know.
