If you know someone who would benefit from attending this event, then please pass this message on to them - they just need to contact Terry Morris, on 07740 670 642 or email: terry.morris@hertfordshire.gov.uk 

You can share this message to your street WhatsApp or your local Facebook group using the “Share” button at the bottom of the message, or forward the email to a friend / family member if you wish.

The aim of the OPALS event is to provide quality information, advice and help available within the local community on a wide range of services available to reduce vulnerability of our older residents, to provide reassurance, safe and wellbeing support and reduce loneliness.

Spaces are limited so if you don’t want to miss out then please reserve a space quickly.  All event guests will be seated and served refreshments and a FREE hot meal, plus representatives from a variety of agencies will give advice and the services they offer.

It is a sociable event, and a great opportunity to meet other residents in the local area.  

Agencies not giving talks will have stalls that you can visit, to get advice, collect some safety related information and freebies.

The event lasts around 4 hours - please arrive on time to ensure you do not miss out on the speakers or freebies on offer. The gift bags of “Act of Kindness” will be handed out at the end of the event.

The event is targeted to our older residents. Car parking is available on site and buses go past the venue.
