This year’s UK Older People’s Day is about sharing skills and experience within your own age group or different generations. So, take time out of your day to celebrate the contribution older people make in your communities. On this Older People’s Day do something different and join in the ‘Big Skill Share’.

The Beth Johnson Foundation would like to invite everyone who is over the age of 50, and your older network members (50+), to take part in a short survey to help them collect information on the 2012 UK Older People’s Day theme of ‘Big Skills Share’.

Landmark Films on behalf of the BBC are working on a documentary and they are looking to speak with local individuals who help out in the community litter picking or clearing up the streets of dog fouling because they have a passion and pride for their area.

In the documentary Landmark Films want to tackle the issue of litter, which is becoming increasingly problematic in modern society and a real nuisance, and talk to the people who are trying to do something about it on a regular basis.

As part of the national Transforming Local Infrastructure initiative, Macc successfully led a partnership to obtain a grant from the Office for Civil Society via Big Fund (the non lottery funding arm of the Big Lottery Fund).

The purpose of the Transforming Local Infrastructure programme is to provide better support for frontline voluntary and community sector organisations through change and redevelopment.
