GARA Activities
April, Friday 26th. 10.30/45. GARA is affiliated to several national bodies. The Older People’s Council is one. Carina Holmes, who chairs the Wicklow branch will join us and let us know how this body operates and their role in older people’s affairs etc. She will be accompanied by Marion Van der Wel, Wicklow Co-ordinator for ‘Healthy Age Friendly Homes’. Their remit is enabling older people to continue living in their homes or in a home adapted to their needs. We expect that this will be a very enlightening morning.
