Since being established in 2005, Staveley Seniors Forum has brought local people together to socialise, discuss issues that matter to them and enjoy a varied programme of guest speakers and activities.
Staveley Seniors Forum is for people aged 50 and over who want to stay active, connected and involved in their local community.
The forum provides an opportunity to:
- meet new people and enjoy regular social contact
- stay informed about local issues and developments
- share your views on matters affecting older residents
- hear from a variety of guest speakers and organisations
- learn about health, wellbeing and support services
- help influence decisions and projects that impact the local area
- be part of a friendly and supportive group
The forum works hard to improve quality of life for local older residents and ensure their voices are heard.
Achievements include:
- supporting discussions around the impact of the Staveley Centre and other local developments
- working with local partners to ensure the views of older residents are considered in community projects
- establishing a well-attended and active forum that continues to bring people together each month
- installing a commemorative bench in Staveley Memorial Garden in memory of valued forum members Peter Stearn and Shirley Flint
