Support and advice for older people as Age Alliance Wales roadshow visits Llandudno
A community news update from your area
Age Alliance Wales, a collection of charities providing information and services for older people, will be hosting a roadshow in Llandudno next month.
The free event aims to provide information and support on a wide range of issues relevant to older people including arthritis, stroke, Parkinson?s Disease, and caring for a person living with dementia.
Volunteers linked to the Royal National Institute of the Deaf (RNID Cymru) will be offering on the spot checks for hearing loss and tinnitus.
Prime Cymru, the organisation tasked with helping older people to get back into paid work or training, will be especially important for those who want to increase their income.
Spokesman Chris Williams said: ?We know that older people in Wales are facing some really tough challenges right now as they grapple with NHS waiting times, long delays to accessing social care, and the cost-of-living crisis.
?And we know they must face these issues on top of the normal challenges of ageing such as arthritis, hearing loss, and caring responsibilities.
?However, we want to assure older people that they are not alone and that there are lots of organisations out there ready to offer their support.
"So, I would urge any older person in the area, or their friends and relatives, to come along to the roadshow and seek the support needed for a more comfortable later life.?
The roadshow will be at St John?s Methodist Church, Mostyn Street, Llandudno on June 11 from 10.30-2pm.
