Have you ever stopped to think what you wish you had known before you retired? Downsized? Before you became a carer or your mobility changed? Or are there things you are thinking about now, before you retire? What advice would you give others?

We want to pull together an ‘experts by experience guide’ that revolves around Next Steps…preparing for later life. We need a variety of voices and experiences so what you think is important.

Later this month we will be holding events to explore the subject and gather your thoughts – we want to curate a guide that will be a legacy for Torbay and for future generations.

So that we can keep a tab on numbers you can book your place at any of the following three venues:

Central Church, Tor Hill Rd, Torquay TQ2 5RF from 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm on Tuesday, February 26th Book online here

Paignton Library, Great Western Rd, Paignton TQ4 5AG from 10.00 am to Midday on Wednesday, February 27th Book online here

Scala Hall, Market St, Brixham TQ5 8TA from 2.00 pm and 4.00 pm on Thursday, February 28th Book online here

If you can’t make any of the above dates, but would still like to be involved, let us know and, wherever possible, we will arrange alternatives.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead, cultural anthropologist.

Are you interested? Can you help? Let us know. Should be fascinating.
