It's Positive Ageing Month in NI throughout the month of October kicking off on the 1st - International Day of Older Persons. This fantastic campaign is led by the Age-friendly Network in NI and supported by Age-friendly Officers in every council area.
Linking Generations NI see this month as a perfect opportunity to create new intergenerational connections and celebrate existing ones! We are calling on our supporters to help bring generations together in their own families and the communities they live work and go to school! We would love you all to share your intergenerational examples with us by tagging our social media channels!
