‘Meath Cares About Older People’

The Meath Age Friendly Alliance held a successful showcase event in the Pillo Hotel, Ashbourne, on Tuesday, October 1. The ‘Meath Cares About Older People’ event highlighted the wide range of services and supports available for older people throughout the county.

The event recognises the importance of reaching out to older members of the community to ensure they are aware of the many resources that can provide assistance and improve their quality of life.

“I’ve spoken to many older people across Meath who experience isolation or find it difficult to access essential services, particularly those living in rural areas,” said Cathaoirleach Cllr. Sharon Tolan. “This event is about showcasing all the supports and opportunities available to older people in our county, from arts and sports to community development and volunteering. Meath has so much to offer, and this is a chance to highlight what’s right here on our doorstep.”

The event at the Pillo Hotel featured informative exhibition stands, engaging demonstrations, and a series of talks on topics such as eye and ear health, information on wills, and local services. Many thanks to all in attendance.
