Older people’s forums operating across Belfast are made up of older volunteers who meet once a month to look at issues affecting older people in their area, participate in training and workshops and attend trips and outings.

The forums want to recruit new members. To join, you need to be aged 50 or older, live in the local area and interested in championing the needs of older people.

If you’d like to find out more about joining the West Belfast 50+ Forum or Greater Shankill Senior Citizens Forum, please contact Deirdre on deirdre.murphy@volunteernow.co.uk or call 028 9023 2020
