A hundred different things – Silver Sunday and People First

People first logo

 

Silver Sunday is a day of fun and free activities for older people which celebrates the value and knowledge they contribute to our communities. Loneliness and isolation is an increasing problem and the day also aims to draw those at risk into the community for a fun, stimulating day out, meeting new people.

“If you don’t have anywhere to go you tend to think ‘I can’t be bothered to go out’ and get stuck indoors”

Visit the Silver Sunday page on People First to see what’s going on and let residents know about some of the huge range of activities on offer – there are over 100 across the 3 boroughs. Some will take place next week as well – it’s not just Sunday!

“The majority of people who attended had not engaged with us before. I spoke to at least two people who said they never leave the house”

 

What is People First?

People First is the core Information and Advice web service for residents, staff and fellow professionals, run by the Adult Social Care departments of Hammersmith & Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster. Our aim is to provide easy-to-use, jargon free and engaging information in a bright visual way that will help keep people stay safe, well and independent.

Data Protection Seminar – 1 October 2015

Free tickets – data protection seminar

Thursday 1st October

Central London

 

 

Free tickets are available for our next data protection seminars: “Data Protection: How to avoid the reputational and financial risks…and reap the benefits”

Managing data protection risk is fast becoming essential for anyone handling personal information. Donors, commissioning bodies, the media and service users are keenly aware of security breaches – meaning your reputation can quickly be harmed though poor or outdated practice. Over £6m of fines have been issued for serious breaches since 2010.

Have you kept pace with the increasing technological change and raised expectations…? Will you be ready for the EU Data Protection Regulation?

Our two-hour session will take you through some of the common data protection pitfalls, particularly the hot topics of data sharing, remote working, electronic marketing, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), online security and outsourcing, as well as the steps you can take to ensure there is compliance across your organisation.

Please use the following link to see further details and book your free ticket:
• Free ticket – Thursday 1st October

Free data protection policy review
We are also running a free offer: to review your data protection policies.
• We will assess them against the six key themes and 24 control areas we would expect policy to address.
• We will then provide you with a report containing our assessment and any key recommendations.
• All we ask in return is the opportunity to meet with you to present our report.
To take advantage of this free offer, simply email your policy document(s) to Nicola Kendall.
If you have any further questions about the free tickets or review, please do not hesitate to Nicola Kendall.

Age UK London Free Workshop on planning your business plan – 23rd September 2015

How effective is your
Business Plan?

Wednesday 23rd September 2015
2.00 pm – 4.00 pm
Centre for Armenian Information & Advice
105a Mill Hill Road
Acton, London W3 8JF

This practical workshop will focus on helping you to develop your Business Plan, to include the role of the management team, and financial analysis. More Trusts and Local Authorities now want a full Business Plan as part of the required documents with your funding applications.

Planning helps an organisation chart a course for the achievement of its goals. The process begins with reviewing the current operations of the organisation and identifying what needs to be improved operationally in the upcoming year. From there, planning involves envisioning the results the organization wants to achieve, and determining the steps necessary to arrive at the intended destination—success.

 

Speaker: Kathleen Egan, Programme Manager, Age UK London

Please book your free place early
