Silver Sunday was launched in 2012 by The Sir Simon Milton Foundation and Westminster City Councillor Christabel Flight, after a report discovered more than a third of people over 75 said they were lonely. The aim then was to celebrate older residents, recognise their contribution to their communities and help them get out and about to meet new people.
On Sunday 6th October 2019, a day of free, fun events for older people will take place across the UK and you can find out what is taking place in Gosport by searching on the Silver Sunday webpage below – activities include Sunday Stroll by Gosport Voluntary Action and Walking Hockey by Gosport Borough Hockey Club:
