Volunteering Matters ~ Primetime Calendar

Welcome to September’s PrimeTime Calendar!

The usual round-up of activities for the over 50’s going on around our city, with a focus on older men. First, a few items of interest:

 Active Forever Event 2018

A free event for people aged 50+ promoting the many benefits of physical activity, with FREE taster sessions to give people an opportunity to try new activities. Discover what’s available to you through local clubs, dance and sport groups and other organisations - with activities and performances. Part of the Older Peoples Festival and hosted by the Healthy Lifestyles Team in partnership with Freedom Leisure.

Wed 3rd October - 10am to 2pm - King Alfred Leisure Centre

 Hove Lost Dog Cycle Search Team

If your dog goes missing in Hove, then call 07940 796 934 for help. Tell them your dog’s description, where last seen, where they like to go and any other info that may be helpful. A group of volunteers will then cycle round and try and find your dog. A simple idea, and one that works - they have had several successes.

Cyclists are often out and about anyway, so it’s a simple idea to ask them to help find missing dogs. They need more volunteers, so if you’re an 18+ cyclist willing help when you can, then do get in touch on the same number.

 Healthwatch - Public Survey on Hospital Discharge

Healthwatch are running a new project on hospital discharge and what patients and family members think about it, interviewing patients and family at the Royal Sussex County Hospital until the end of September. In support, they have an online survey asking for experiences of people discharged from the hospital in 2018. The survey is aimed at anyone 65+ and a Brighton & Hove resident, or a family member/carer of someone who meets these criteria.

If you’re interested then please complete the survey at: healthwatchbrightonandhove.co.uk/survey
