Health and activity day

A HEALTH-themed open day for older people in East Lothian is being held next week aimed at encouraging the elderly to stay active.

The event will coincide with Older People’s Day 2011, taking place next Thursday, and will be held at the Port Seton Centre from 10am to 4pm.

Councillor Ruth Currie, cabinet member for community wellbeing, said: “There will be information stalls about a range of topics including health, benefits and energy efficiency and we’ll also hear from visitors what activities and groups they are interested in p to develop a broader range of activities.”
