AN initiative to improve services for older people in Darlington is to be officially launched this month.
The Growing Older in Darlington strategy was set up after a year-long consultation exercise involving more than 500 people aged over 50.
The public launch of the scheme will be on February 27 at the Dolphin Centre, followed by two workshops in March to look at ways of taking the work forward.
The strategy is a partnership between Darlington Borough Council's Housing and Social Services departments, Darlington Primary Care Group and South Durham and Darlington Health Care NHS Trust.
The launch will take place between 2pm and 4pm on February 27, and the workshops will be held on March 8 and 22 at Feethams Football Ground, between 10am and 4pm.
