St Albans District has recently acheived “Age Friendly” status – see https://www.stalbans.gov.uk/news/ (and extract below from their website)

The District now joins 100 other local authority areas which are also part of the growing movement.

To be accepted as a member, the Council had to demonstrate its commitment to providing Age-friendly services and create a District where older people are well supported.

This includes initiatives to involve older people in Council activities and act on issues such as loneliness and social isolation.

Membership is conditional on the Council continuing to engage with older people as it has been doing by holding a series of Age-friendly events.

Computer Friendly will be supporting all three of the Age Friendly St Albans District events this autumn in Alban Arena (22nd October, 10 am to 2 pm), London Colney Caledon Centre (3rd November, 10 am to 20pm) and Redbourn Village Hall (13th November, 9:30 to 11:30 am) so you are welcome to come along to any of these events and have a chat with us about what we do; the courses we run etc., and how you could participate as a volunteer, a user with a problem to solve at one of our drops ins or as a student keen to improve your skills and expand your knowledge.
