Community Workshops
As the national charity for older people, we are uniquely positioned to provide independent, practical, informed and accurate information on topics affecting older people.
We offer free workshops on dementia awareness and inclusion, rights-based training for unpaid carers, energy matters, social security, health and wellbeing, and supporting the older ex-Armed Forces community.
Find out more about how we can help you.
Dementia Training
We offer free online training courses on Dementia Awareness, Dementia Inclusion, and Carers' Rights. Sessions run regularly throughout the year and there are also self-study options, which allow you to complete courses in your own time.
Energy Workshops
Our free energy workshops help older people to stay warm and save money, understand their fuel bills, learn about carbon monoxide safety in the home, be prepared for power cuts and find out about the practical and financial support available.
Benefits Workshops
The benefits system is complicated; it can be difficult to work out what you are entitled to, and how to claim it. Our workshops cover the benefits that support older people, and give practical advice and information on making applications.
Health and Wellbeing
We offer interactive talks and workshops to older people's community groups and services on improving health and wellbeing in later life.
Supporting the older ex-Armed Forces community
We offer free awareness webinars for paid staff and volunteers in community groups and services who do, or would like to, support the older ex-Armed Forces community in Scotland.
