Supporting Older People in Mann 20 September 2004 "Supporting Older People in Mann" is the title of an exhibition that will be put
on by Social Services in the Villa Marina on
24-25 September 2004. The exhibition is being organised by the Older People's
Social Work Team in conjunction with David Gawne, who is engaged by the
Department as Consultant for its Caring for Carers Strategy. The aim of the
exhibition is to promote the services offered on the Island to older people and
their carers.
There will be more than thirty stalls in the exhibition, promoting the services
offered to older people on the Island by Social Services, as well as other
Departments within the DHSS, other Government
Departments, voluntary organisations and commercial organisations.
Steve Rodan, MHK, Minister for Health and Social Security, who will be
officially opening the Exhibition, said:
"I welcome this initiative to inform the public about services that are
available for older people and their carers. We hope this exhibition can be the
first of many such annual events."
The Exhibition will be held in the Royal Hall on Friday 24 September from
10.00am to 7.00pm and on Saturday 25 September from 10.00am to 4.00pm. Admission
