NEW central venue for 2025: Islington Council (Community Space), 222 Upper Street, N1 1XR

Request a place at the next Age UK Islington's *Let's Talk* event! This monthly forum is a great opportunity to stay informed, share your thoughts, and connect with others. Enjoy a relaxed, social atmosphere with plenty of time for discussion. We’d love to hear your views!

This month, we’ll be hearing about future changes to disability benefits and how benefits work if you take part-time employment. We’ll also have talks about some of the key programmes to help build skills and confidence to help get into employment and while working.

Do you have any questions about this month's topics?

When you book, let us know if there's a question that you'd like to ask. We can share these with the speakers ahead of the session.
