Have Your Say: Shaping Opportunities for People Aged 50+

We’d like to hear from you
We want to hear from people aged 50 and over about what matters to them in their local community.

We’re particularly interested in whether people would like more opportunities to come together, meet others and take part in activities locally, as well as what might make it easier for people to get involved.

Your views will help us understand what people want and need in their communities and will help shape our future plans, activities and funding applications.

There are no right or wrong answers – we simply want to hear what you think.

As a thank you for taking part, you can choose to be entered into a prize draw to win either a £30 Wellbeing Studio voucher or a £20 High Street voucher. If you would like to enter, there will be space at the end of the survey to provide your contact details.

Entering the prize draw is completely optional and terms and conditions apply.
