A MEETING of an organisation representing the interests of people aged 50 and older in the Vale will be held next month.

The Vale 50+ Strategy Forum is holding a number of 'Have Your Say' events this year, with the next meeting to be held at Lower Penarth Community Centre, Brockhill Way, from 2pm until 4pm on Thursday, May 18.

The events are free, with refreshments provided.

Chair of the executive group Anne-Marie Little said: “The Forum gives a powerful voice to the needs of older people in shaping their communities for the benefit of all citizens locally and nationally.

"Everyone is welcome to attend our ‘Have Your Say’ events and we are always on the lookout for more members.”

The group has been in existence for 20 years, and has more than 280 members, and regularly discusses important matters such as health, housing, transport, leisure, and more.
