NEWS : Rural Wisdom Conversation with the Older People’s Commissioner for Wales, 24th June 2021, 11am-1pm

A conversation with the Older People’s Commissioner for Wales

Come along to hear from the Older People’s Commissioner for Wales, Heléna Herklots who will take us through the journey of how the role of Commissioner came about in 2008 and the impact it has had since. We will find out how it protects and promotes the rights of older people throughout Wales, scrutinising and influencing a wide range of policy and practice to improve their lives.

We will also be joined by Gaynor Davies, chair of ‘Cymru Older People’s Alliance’ (COPA) – an independent, representative, national organisation run by Older People for the benefit of older people in Wales. Gaynor will share the experiences and perspectives of older people and the impact of the Commissioner’s work on their lives.

The ‘Conversation Starters’ events are for anyone living in, or working alongside, a rural community.
