Positive Ageing Celebration Event
The 4th Positive Ageing Celebration event is being held on Wednesday 7th October 2015 at the Leisure Centre in Patrick Street, Newry. It is a celebration of the positive impact older people make on our community.
We will engage with 200 older people and provide them access to and information on support services around Health and Wellbeing, Education and Lifelong Learning, Recreation and Leisure, Volunteering, Advice and Support, Arts, Culture and Heritage and Shopping.
The steering group would like to invite Businesses in the locality to support and become involved in this year’s big showcase event, and to support older people in the community with incentives to shop locally.
2 ways you can attract over 60’s to your business and get them to shop with you.
-
Give discount vouchers at the Positive Ageing Event on Wednesday 7th October 2015
-
Offer ongoing discounts throughout the year, for example on a designated day/monthly, or every day .
If you wish to become involved in this venture please contact me or my colleague Denise McBride before Friday 21st August 2015. We will be happy to discuss this further and would like to thank you in advance for your attention.
Yours sincerely,
Marian
