Why this event matters 

Many people in our local communities are unsure where to begin when it comes to planning for later life. Questions around how care works, how to protect your finances, and what legal steps you should take are common, but answers aren’t always easy to find. 

This event brings together leading professionals in health, finance, and law to demystify the process and empower you with the knowledge you need to make informed decisions. Whether you're planning ahead or facing decisions right now, this is your chance to get expert guidance in a warm, welcoming environment.

We’ve curated a series of insightful talks from respected industry figures:
