The Older People's Partnership has produced its first ever newsletter to keep people informed of what the Partnership is doing. The Partnership's role is to work with all local service commissioners and planners to ensure the needs of older people are met.

On 4th July we held a collection at the Tesco Metro in Blackburn town centre. Through the generosity of many people we raised over £230. We would like to thank Tesco and all those who donated.

We have recently produced a new leaflet offering sensible drinking guidance for older people. We hope the leaflet will remove some of the confusion around how much is too much alcohol and what the sensible drinking guidelines are.

On 10th and 11th June, as part of Men’s Health Week, we held two information events. At the events we gave away 400 free information packs which included lots of useful information about men’s health and keeping healthy.
