Published on 20 September 2022 10:24 AM

This October, for the entire month, we want everyone to celebrate older people. Our late Sovereign Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was just one exemplary example of an inspirational older person, who led an extraordinary life.

We have a list of activities and events lined up for you. 

One of these we are excited to announce is a FREE 'Talk and Cream Tea with Dr Lucy Pollock' on Friday 21st October, 3 – 5pm at The Clockhouse Community Centre, Chapel Lane, Milford, GU8 5EZ

Dr Lucy Pollock is a Consultant Geriatrician and author of ‘The Book About Getting Older’.

Dr Lucy Pollock will be giving an amusing, informative and compassionate talk about ageing with stories and lessons from her fantastic and well-received book. Her book shows us that long life is something to be celebrated and embraced.
