Government Policy and the Provision of Services for the Elderly: Statements.
I am involved in the county council, the VEC and adult education. My brief includes involvement with active age groups, which attempt to give back to older people a sense that they belong and have as good a purpose as that of any other group. Over the years I have seen the local group provide self-sufficiency, self-fulfilment, self-confidence, self-esteem, self-reliance and, most importantly, independence.
