Silver Week is a week dedicated to celebrating and hosting fun and free activities for older people. with the aim of both tackling loneliness and isolation, and focusing on the contributions older people have made to communities and to our society.
During Silver Week there will be a week of activities where both older people and people of all generations can come together to meet new people, visit new places, try new activities and connect with their local communities and the generations around them.
As part of this, Barnet Council will be celebrating Silver Week in partnership with our community groups by hosting and providing funding for a series of community events.
