Agesafe and Solihull Older People's Forum
Agesafe Solihull aims to enable older people to get their voices heard and to provide advice and support to help people to be safer and to feel safer.
Solihull Older People's Forum meets on the 3rd Thursday of each month, giving older people an opportunity to meet others and to discuss services. It also acts as a consultative body channelling opinions and views to local agencies and also to the Government through the West Midlands Older People's Advisory Group (OPAG)
Membership is free. Members receive information and invitations to Forums and other events. If you wish to join Agesafe you can email Agesafe@solihull-ct.nhs.uk
