International Day of Older People - What's on your doorstep?

It’s the International Day of Older People (IDOP) on 1 October and this year’s theme is 'What’s on your doorstep?' This year focus will be on the International Day of Older People throughout the week of the 28 September to 2 October and we're encouraging everyone to discover what's available in their local community or near where they live.

Together, let's shine a light on the fantastic things happening right on our doorstep and help older people in Lincolnshire to thrive. Explore. Connect. Share.

Could you host an activity or event for IDOP? Maybe you could use the 'What’s on your doorstep?' theme at one of your regular sessions? You can promote events you're organising on Connect to Support's activities and events directories as part of the campaign. Just tell us about your event.
