Belfast Positive Ageing Programme

A month long celebration of later life Monday, 1 October – Friday, 30 October 2015

October is Positive Ageing Month, and this month will become a festival of celebration for the contributions older people have made, and continue to make, to their Belfast city community. This citywide month-long programme of activities is supported by the Belfast Area Partnership Boards, the Springfield Charitable Association, Age-friendly Belfast, the Belfast City Council and Engage with Age.

As part of this programme, the St Mary’s University College Students’ Union will be hosting a dance workshop, “Dance Westival”, on Thursday, 15 October, from 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm. The event will be led by some of our students who are dance instructors.

Belfast is a bright and vibrant age-friendly city where older people are resilient and live life to the full, and St Mary’s is proud to support this programme!
