Support for Older People in Wishaw and Shotts

The motion

That the Parliament notes that, as part of its Reshaping Care for Older People programme, NHS Lanarkshire will be holding an open day at Calderhead High School in Shotts on 26 October 2013 to showcase the work of community groups that provide activities, help or support for older people in Wishaw and Shotts; understands that the day will provide advice on funding, marketing and support to newly established groups in the community that are looking to help older people; believes that the day will provide an opportunity for people in Wishaw and Shotts who are over 65 to discover activities that they can take part in, such as head massage, yoga, exercise and computer workshops; understands that it will also allow residents to express their thoughts about what could be done in the area to support older people and to keep them connected to, and involved with, their communities; considers this to be an excellent way to engage with older people in the Wishaw and Shotts area; hopes that it will encourage them to join groups that will help them lead full, positive and independent lives, and further hopes that the many fledgling organisations looking to provide positive support to older people in this part of Lanarkshire will find the day constructive and useful in helping their projects develop.
