The OPN welcomes individuals over 50 & their supporters to share their perspectives on how communities can better support older people.

The Falkirk Older People’s Network provides a space to come together, learn from shared experiences, and share resources. The Network is open to all individuals over 50, community workers, and volunteers from third sector organisations delivering a service supporting Older Persons within the Falkirk District. We warmly encourage organisations supporting older adults to bring along one or two members aged 50+ who may be interested in learning more about the network, meeting others, and finding out what is available locally.

Following the recent storms and severe weather experienced across Scotland, this meeting will include an interactive session on community resilience and preparedness, aimed at older adults (50+) and the third sector organisations supporting them. The session will explore practical steps people can take to stay safe, prepare for emergencies and support others in their communities. CVS Falkirk & District will also share information on its Winter Wellness Campaign, including advice and resources to help older people stay safe and well during the colder months.

We will close the session with time to reflect on Falkirk Older People’s Day 2026, discuss plans and priorities for the Network in 2027 and hear updates from members.

Please note that photographs will be taken during the event and may be used for promotional purposes by CVS Falkirk & District. If you would prefer not to be photographed, please let us know in advance or speak to a member of staff on the day.
