Info

Information: The meetings of the Older People’s Council ought to be held at least once a year throughout the lifetime of the strategy. It’s an opportunity to update older people in the city/county on achievements to date within the county. It’s crucial that older people know what’s happening in their locality – what initiatives have started and are planned. For example, the meeting can have details of all computer classes throughout the county. People can also be informed about befriending initiatives, new initiatives from the HSE, the Gardai, the local authority and any other organisation relevant to the daily lives of older people. If older people see the Older People’s Council as the place to keep up to date on what’s happening in their area, the Older People’s Council will be stronger and more dynamic as a result. It is crucial that the Age Friendly City or County Coordinator and the Executive Committee of the Older People’s Council keep informed and collate all relevant flyers and information sheets for distribution at Older People’s Council meetings. Guest Speakers: It’s also an opportunity to invite representatives of different groups to make a presentation. Get a sense of what’s most important to the older people in your area. For example, a talk from a community Garda might be something many are interested in or a talk from a librarian about Information technology classes offered in the local libraries. Older people’s groups which are already active or developing in your county/city might like to introduce themselves to the Older People’s Council. These can range from Physical Activity Leaders, trained by Age & Opportunity to Crime Prevention Ambassadors trained by the Gardai. These presentations offer older people an opportunity to keep up to date on what’s happening and share this information with their peers. At each event, it’s important that older people get a chance to air their views about what’s working well and what isn’t so that this information can be fed back to the Age Friendly Alliance as future goals. It’s essential to have one shared meeting a year between the Older People’s Council and the Age Friendly Alliance so there is a flow of information maintained between each group. This generally happens at the AGM of the Older People’s Council. 116
Chapter 4: Implementation “ Mainstreaming pilot projects is one of Eithne Mallin’s key concerns. It’s great when an age friendly project such as the health, fitness and wellbeing course at the Institute of Technology in Blanchardstown starts but to make it sustainable is trickier. “The students of the sports development course set up a health, fitness and wellbeing course for older people as part of their course work. We provided transport for some older people who couldn’t drive themselves to the IT in Blanchardstown and we issued certificates to about 50 people who took part,” explains Mallin. However, each year, the funding had to be worked out between the IT and Fingal County Council. “If courses like this one are to be mainstreamed, they need a constant funding source and different agencies have to make them part of their agenda,” says Mallin. ” 117
