The 1st of October is already an important day in my calendar and I want it to be in yours too. International Older Peoples’ Day gives us all a chance to celebrate the valuable contribution older people have made to our city – and continue to make; in families, in workplaces and time given to community groups.
This year’s theme, from Newcastle Elders’ Council, is ‘Deeds not Words’ – providing a great way for people, across the generations and different parts of the city, to come together, have fun, chat and learn from each other’s stories.
