From Horsham District Older Persons Forum’s Newsletter…
“Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday, 1st April 2025, at 10 am at Henfield Leisure Centre, Henfield BN5 9QB, with our usual topical and informative guest speakers with time for questions and answers.
That will be followed by Tuesday 1st July, 10 am at Chanctonbury Leisure Centre, Spierbridge Road, Storrington, RH20 4PG and then on Tuesday 9th September, 10 am Billingshurst Village Hall, Roman Way, Billingshurst, RH14 9QW.
We are planning our 2025 MP Question Time for 10 am Friday, 5th December 2025, in Pulborough and inviting Andrew Griffith, MP.
All meetings are free to attend, starting at 10 a.m. and finishing around lunchtime at 12.30. You can also participate via Zoom.
If there is someone you would like to be a guest speaker at any of our public meetings, please let the Forum know.
Who can attend Forum meetings?
Anyone aged 60+ who lives in the Horsham district or cares for someone who is.
Anyone involved with, knowledgeable about, or interested in issues affecting local older people.
Local HDC, WSCC, Neighbourhood and Parish Councillors are much welcomed.
What will you gain by attending?
As always, we will talk about and listen to issues you want to discuss and get answers if possible. We will have topical and knowledgeable guest speakers who know or need to know the current concerns of older people. Are others worried about the same things you are? Almost certainly! Would you like to hear about something you didn’t know, i.e., NHS updates, what and where help is available, access to GP services, pharmacy, medicines availability and prescription issues, community transport, and more?
Meet others in a warm, safe, friendly environment with complimentary tea, coffee, and maybe even biscuits! If you cannot attend in person, you can do so via Zoom.
Come and find out for yourself. Be informed! You will be welcomed – we guarantee you will be glad you came!”
