The event, The Celebration of Age and Ambition, organised by Age Concern in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly will take place from 1:30pm – 4:30pm and is expected to attract more than 300 older people, their friends, family and carers for an afternoon of activities and information.
A team of staff from Cornwall Care will be on hand to offer advice and guidance on all of the services they offer, from care homes and home care services to respite care and their newly launched service, My Progress Plus.
The Celebration of Age and Ambition will provide visitors to the event with information from a host of service providers as well as offering people the opportunity to try out a range of activities.
