REDDITCH Older People's Forum is going from strength to strength.
The forum's secretary Lorna White said they are launching a monthly coffee morning at the Ecumenical Centre in Redditch.
"We hope to have a speaker at each coffee morning from a range of agencies including the benefits department or pensions services. They will speak for about 15 minutes," she said.
Last month the group held its annual general meeting at the town hall. "We had about 28 members of the public turn out for the meeting, which isn't very representative of the number of older people in the town, but better than previously," she added. "I am now contacting the agencies which were at our AGM to see if they will speak at our new coffee mornings. We hope to have them up and running by July."
