Positive Ageing Month - October 2022
Welcome to Positive Ageing Month As Head of Health Improvement, Equality and Involvement for the Western Health & Social Care Trust, I am delighted once again to support the annual Positive Ageing Campaign. This is a great example of how working together can achieve great results. I would like to thank all our partners for providing a wide range of activities and events for older people. Positive Ageing month puts a focus on the 5 steps to wellbeing - Be Active, Connect, Take Notice, Give and Keep Learning. This year there are many opportunities to participate in programmes that will allow you to achieve all these steps. The varied programme offers dancing, swimming, poetry and opportunities to meet new or old friends, reading the newspapers over tea. What is not to like? There are too many activities to mention so I would encourage you to take a look and attend as many as you can!!!! Seamus Ward Head of Health Improvement, Equality and Involvement, WHSCT

CARERS<br />
WALKING GROUP<br />
The Carers Walking Group aims to improve<br />
Carers physical and mental health, giving them<br />
an opportunity to meet with others in similar<br />
situations, make new friends and enjoy a well<br />
earned cuppa! This enables improvement of<br />
information sharing, reduces stress and gives<br />
carers opportunities for further understanding and<br />
involvement in how services operate. It also gives<br />
carers well earned time out from their caring role.<br />
The Carers Support team currently run three<br />
walking groups in the Western Trust area in<br />
Omagh, L’Derry and Enniskillen. If you are<br />
interested in joining a group please contact<br />
(028) 6634 4163 (Fermanagh) or (028) 7135<br />
5023 (L’Derry and Omagh).<br />
