FREE Learning & Activity Session for Older People - 9th June 10am to 1:30pm

Dear Resident,

You are invited to an OPALS (Older Persons Activity Learning and Safety) event taking place on Tuesday 9th June 10am to 1:30pm at Watersmeet Theatre Rickmansworth

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 senior citizens, to provide reassurance, safe and wellbeing support and reduce loneliness.

If you would like to attend, please contact Terry Morris, on 07740 670 642 or email: terry.morris@hertfordshire.gov.uk with names and contact information.  Spaces are limited so if you don’t want to miss out then please reserve a space quickly.

If you know someone who would benefit from the event, then please pass this message on to them.

All event guests will be seated and served refreshments and a FREE hot meal.  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 or collect some safety related information and freebies.

The event lasts up to 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.  The nearest Car Park information can be found on the Watersmeet Theatre information page at Finding Us | Watersmeet  with at least two car parks just a short walk from the Theatre and the parking cost is £4 for up to 4 hours. Buses go past the venue.
