Derry City and Strabane District Council has launched a baseline survey aimed at establishing how older people feel about various issues that can impact on their quality of life.
The findings of the survey will contribute towards the development of a new Age Friendly Strategy for the Derry City and Strabane District Council area.
Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Cllr Brian Tierney, said: Derry City and Strabane District Council and its partners are committed to improving the quality of life for older people living within the City and District and by taking part in the survey, older people will shape how age friendliness is approached and addressed moving forward.
Such is the breadth of Joe Brennan s back catalogue that within minutes of speaking to someone he can think of a story suited to their needs, a tale likely to capture their imagination.
And he will be using that ability, and plenty of others, over the course of the next two months as he begins The Tale-a-Phone Exchange , a new campaign launched by Wexford Age Friendly and the Arts Office at Wexford County Council.
Starting on Wednesday February 3, Joe will be calling older people across Wexford to tell them a story, one of the many traditional yarns he has written and performed over the course of a lengthy career.
