Thank you to everyone that came along to our Bingo evening last night. We raised an incredible £1423.00 for Age Connects Wrexham and Flintshire Age Connects North East Wales

🎉 Today is United Nations #OlderPeoplesDay, and all day we'll be celebrating the contributions of older people in their families and communities. Are there any amazing older people you think deserve recognition? Let us know. #UNIDOP2019

Happy National day for Older People! Pop along and see us. Maria is at Flintshires 50+ action group event at civic hall in Connahs Quay. Hayley and Anna are in Wrexham at Ty Pawb.

We are discussing ageism with older people around the world, to help them recognise and challenge the injustices they experience because of their age. Read this photo story and find out what they had to say in Myanmar. #ExposeAgeism #IDOP2019 bit.ly/2nQjmxk

2019 marks 50 years since the term ‘ageism’ was coined by Robert Butler. And yet research shows that today, later life is still strongly associated with being frail, lonely and sad. Join us in changing this negative language. #AgeProud #IDOP2019 ow.ly/qdxJ50wy0uW

The Commissioner’s State of the Nation report shows that whilst we have some strong foundations to build on, action is needed to improve older people’s lives and make Wales the best place in the world to grow older. olderpeoplewales.com/en/news/news/1… #StateOfTheNation
