It’s a joy to
be celebrating summer after the long dark winter…and it’s always a joy to be celebrating
later life.
That’s what we at Age Concern Isle of Man aim to do for our clients
– celebrate later life - in partnership with colleagues in the private, public and
third sectors.
Later life is
to be enjoyed – you have only to look at our clients socialising at our day care
centres and lunch clubs, entering the digital age at our lifelong learning computer
centres and coming on board our CHAT bus to realise that this is no mere strap line,
it’s what underpins everything we do at Age Concern Isle of Man: supporting older
people, safeguarding their independence and dignity, ensuring their voice is heard
by the nation’s decision makers and campaigning to influence later
life policy in the Isle of Man.
While we are fortunate
to live in a very special place – the
Undaunted we remain
firm believers that later life is an exciting journey from which as much fun as
possible should be extracted. Which is why, over the coming months, we will be putting
the fun into fundraising with a calendar of events, some familiar, others making
their début. As a taster of what’s to come we’re holding a glamour-fest of an evening
- a ‘Sex and the City’ night on July 29 at the Mount Murray Hotel. A few days before
that there’s Summertime – a lunchtime with wine, canapés and music on July 25, and
on October 13 there’ll be an All-Star Big Dance Night in the Villa Marina. For more details, please call 613044 or email gillian.harvey@ageconcerniom.com.
Our autumn and
Christmas programme is also taking shape and in between events there’s always our
CHAT (Community, Health Advice and Training) bus, coming to a community near you.
(Please visit ‘Useful Information’ for the schedule).
At Age Concern
Isle of Man we’re continuing to raise standards…and with your help we’re continuing
to raise funds.
