Developing services for older people
East Sussex has a significantly higher proportion of older people than other counties. Currently 27% of residents are of pensionable age, and estimates show that this could rise to 40% in 2027. So it makes sense to work with people from the age of 50 onwards to understand the changing needs of the local population properly.
- Older people’s forum
- The older people’s forum is open to anyone over 50 in East Sussex. Older people can get involved in improving services in a variety of ways such as the planning and purchase of services.
- Older people public consultations
- Find out about consultations that affect older people, and the services they receive.
- Older People’s Engagement Day – 4 March 2008
- An Older People’s Engagement Day was held in Eastbourne. The event marked the launch of the ‘The Time of our Lives Strategy’. The engagement day brought together the seven older people’s forums from across the county, and other partner organisations who work with the council on providing care and services.
