Redditch Older Peoples Forum

Who are we? We are a group of over 55’s supported by Redditch Borough Council, Worcestershire County Council and Age UK. What do we do? We ensure the views of older people are heard by services providers at a national and local level. When? We hold our coffee morning in the Ecumenical Centre (Emmanuel Church) on the second Thursday of every month (except August) 10am - 12pm. Here we have speakers and receive lots of information about health, service changes, community updates and events happening locally in Redditch. We also organize group outings. If you are an older person living in Redditch, do come and join us to meet new people and to learn more about what’s going on locally in Redditch for older people and how we can help shape future changes within services and our local community. Forums held to increase the understanding of issues affecting older people and to provide a collective consensus of opinions in order to influence change at a local, regional and national level.
