UK Older People's Day and UN International Day of Older Persons fall on Saturday 1 October this year, and we are marking the occasion on Friday 30 September by wearing our slippers for the day.

We'd love you to join us, and we'd be so grateful if you also made a small donation to Age UK Solihull to help us continue our work with older people in the Solihull borough.

We also want to get people talking about the achievement and contribution older people make to our society. This year's theme is the resilience and contribution of older women. Do you know an older woman who should be celebrated? Please tell us about her along with your donation!

Thanks so much for your support. As a local charity it means so much to us, and all the funds raised will stay in Solihull to help us make a difference to the lives of older people in the borough.
