#AgeFriendlySheffield are sending monthly updates with everything you need to know about Age-Friendly Sheffield and how to get involved.
Wonderful to be at the celebration of Age Better in Sheffield, 7 years of working with partners, who together made a difference to the people of #Sheffield . This fantastic work has transitioned into #AgeFriendlySheffield - a city where we can all #agewell
When Age Better in Sheffield launched in 2015 we never could have anticipated that a global pandemic would shape part of our delivery and impact loneliness in the ways it has.
Connection and community are more important than ever as we all recover 🧵 #LonelinessAwarenessWeek
