You are invited to join us at Dorset’s Stakeholder Conversation on Age-friendly Communities at the Dorford Centre on 20th November. This will come hot on the heels of the most recent event on Social Connection in September and will be the first public conversation about what it takes to become an Age-friendly Community.
