Ageing Well Festival Volunteer

In 2013 Impact Initiatives celebrated the contributions older people make to our city, coinciding with the United Nations International Day of Older Persons. Each year since, the festival has grown and developed. The Ageing Well Festival is now an annual two-week programme of events to celebrate older people in Brighton and Hove. Each year we offer an eclectic range of events so that there is something to suit everyone’s interests. People have opportunities to meet like-minded others, make new and most importantly, have fun. An ever-increasing number of organisations, businesses and individuals take part each year. This year, with COVID-19 restrictions now minimal, we plan to hold our biggest Ageing Well Festival yet. The festival is part of the broader Ageing Well service.
