New Forest Wealth Management sponsoring Oakhaven Hospice event on living well in later life at Brockenhurst College.

FOREST folk are invited to a free exhibition aimed at helping them live well in later life.

New Forest Wealth Management is sponsoring the event, organised by Oakhaven Hospice, taking place on Saturday 28th September from 10am to 4pm at Brockenhurst College.

Exhibitors at the Own Your Later Life event will have stands looking at local care options, health and wellbeing services, estate planning, adult education courses, hobbies and retirement opportunities.

Organisers said the event will be an “excellent opportunity” to browse and chat with local services and organisations.

An event spokesperson said: “Throughout the day, a series of interesting talks have been organised, including ‘eating for longevity’ with Annie Winter Nutrition and ‘the importance of movement as we age’ with health coach Olly Leicester.

“There will also be a talk on ‘accessing support locally’ with the Citizens Advice Bureau and ‘later life conversations’ with Adam Johnson from New Forest Wealth Management.”

Oakhaven’s director of patient services, Denise Major, said: “Many who attend the Oakhaven Wellbeing groups and support activities at our Coates Centre have shared that it would be useful to have more information about the organisations and services available in the local community.

“Life can change in so many different ways as we get older - for some, this might mean more time to try a new hobby or do the things they love, whilst others might need a little help at home or advice about wills.

“The Own Your Later Life exhibition aims to provide information for everyone that might be useful as the years advance, in a calm and relaxed environment. We look forward to welcoming you.”
