International Day of Older Persons 2021

International Day of Older Persons

International Day of Older Persons takes place on Friday 1 October every year and Stockport Council is celebrating the contributions our older residents make to the borough.

The theme this year is 'Older and Greener' and we've been chatting to residents about how they're helping to tackle the climate crisis and make Stockport a more sustainable place.
