Lambeth Council is hosting its second free Ageing Well festival at the Kia Oval (Alec Stewart Gate) on 5 October 2024, from 11am – 3pm to celebrate the council’s commitment to becoming an age friendly borough. It will be a fun and social day with information and advice stalls, activities, food and entertainment tailored to residents aged 50 and older.
The festival, which builds on the success of the first event, celebrates International Day of Older Persons 2024 and Age UK’s Silver Sunday and acknowledges the valuable contribution older people have made – and are still making – to the borough.
Lambeth Council is engaging with residents and key partners to develop a local approach to making Lambeth age-friendly. The Ageing Well Festival demonstrates our dedication to this ambition and recognises older residents in Lambeth.
Word from the Cabinet
Cllr Tim Windle, Lambeth Cabinet Member for Healthier Communities, said: “We all have a role to play in making Lambeth a more age-friendly community. Older residents contribute much to life in Lambeth and we’re delighted to invite them to our second Ageing Well Festival. The Festival will acknowledge the important role Lambeth’s older residents play in our Borough and celebrate our journey towards a place that allows all residents to age well. I hope as many people as possible can join this fantastic event with Lambeth, charities and community groups providing lot of activities, information and refreshments.”
