August Seniors Newsletter 2025

24.09.2025

Welcome to the August 2025 edition of the Seniors Newsletter.

This month, we put the spotlight on community patrols and how older volunteers are helping keep neighbourhoods safe.
Fire and Emergency shares vital winter fire safety tips. We explore alternative ways to get around without a car, introduce a new retirement planning tool, and offer nutrition advice for ageing well.
Plus, hear from the Telecommunications Commissioner, and celebrate those recognised in the King’s Birthday Honours.
