Let’s Talk Peer Event
Thursday 15 May, 10.45am - 1.45pm
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 from Age UK Islington’s Planning for the Future service. They’ll guide us through how to nominate someone you trust to manage your health and financial affairs - whether for later life or in the event of a health emergency.
In the afternoon, we’ll explore how to access the care and support you, or someone you look after, may need to stay independent at home - now or in the future.
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.
