Older People’s Forum
The main aim of the Tendring Older People’s Forum is to explore the needs of the older population of the Tendring District and make recommendations for service delivery. The forum is open to all residents of Tendring who feel that life begins at 50 and want to share their ideas or concerns with like minded people.
So what do you think? We want to find out what issues and concerns are faced by older people living in Tendring. We have put together a survey to find out these concerns so that we can tackle the issues raised and make Tendring a better place. The survey that can be completed by older people and also by family members, carers or friends of the older person. Click here to download a copy of the survey. Completed responses can either be sent to: Older Persons Survey, FREEPOST CL3705, Council Offices, Thorpe Road, Weeley, CO16 9AJ. Or can be returned to CVST.

Whose money is it anyway? - click here for report Two months ago, Future East invited a variety of participants from the voluntary, statutory and private sector, to meet with older people with strong local networks, to explore together a delicate issue involving older people, money and relationships, and the implications for safeguarding. During this event, everyone had the opportunity to participate and have their thoughts recorded in this report. If reading the report sparks off any further action or thoughts, however small, please share it with Marion Bailey, Future East. Future East was sorry to disappoint some of those who tried to book for this event. The next event, on 13th March in Cambridge, will include some further discussion of safeguarding.
