On Monday evening, Soroptimist Bristol hosted the first of our Autumn Supper & Speaker events.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We were delighted to welcome Jen DeKalb-Poyer from Age UK Bristol, where she leads on communications and fundraising.<\/p>\n

Based in central Bristol, Age UK Bristol is a locally run charity with a dedicated team of 45 staff and over 70 volunteers. While independent, they work closely with Age UK nationally, following the 5 Ways to Wellbeing:<\/p>\n

Connect-Be Active-Take Notice-Keep Learning-Give<\/p>\n

Age UK Bristol supports older people through key life stages, offering everything from financial advice to fitness activities. Their local centre is a vibrant hub for community events, activities, friendship, and support \u2014 helping to reduce loneliness and promote ageing well.<\/p>\n

Their focus? Fun, friendship, and ageing better \u2014 something especially important for women, who often live longer than men and may take on caregiving roles.<\/p>\n

Thank you to Jen for an inspiring and informative talk and for the incredible work Age UK Bristol does in our community!<\/p>\n
