It is Older People's Day on Saturday 1st October, and its the fifth year that the contribution that older people make to society is being celebrated. Our Chatterbox5 Communications team today ranged from 16 to 63 and we decided that people aren't 'old' till at least 90. Our 63 year old, Mr Barry Williams said he definetely doesn't feel old yet but will let us know when he does!
Some of the things our group liked about being around older people is that they often like to get out and about and are full of life. They have lots of interesting memories, including memories of the war. They can quite often be thrifty and full of good practical ideas for making do and mending things - they don't need any lessons about recycling! They're also very wise and if we have any problems, chances are someone older can give us all advice as they've been there, or seen it all already....
Karen's mum's cousin John is 100 - he lives in the Lake District and got a telegram from the queen. He's got lots of interesting stories about the war and Karen's grandmother was a nurse during the war and had lots of stories too.
Another good thing about older people is that they have often stopped work and are taking things a bit easier and relaxing - which means that they have more time to spend with us and their grandchildren and friends.......
This Blog is all about the people from our five day service centres - Dane Walk, Firdale and The Old Fire Station in Northwich; Meadowbank Lodge in Winsford, and Frodsham Community Day Services. Its about what we get up to, the things we like, and what we've achieved. These services are for adults with learning difficulties and are run by Cheshire West and Chester council. The views expressed here are not necessarily those of CWAC.
