Sherborne Forum

Sherborne District Senior Citizens Group is an established independent, non-party political, group open to local people generally over the age of 50 years.

The group was launched in September 2006. Through the provision of a quarterly open forum meeting, local older people have the opportunity to express their views on both local and national issues of concern.

The group also co-host a quarterly meeting with the Sherborne Area Partnership for organisations who provide services for older people within the Sherborne area.

Our Aims:

To promote the involvement, empowerment and improvement of quality of life for all persons in the Sherborne District generally over the age of 50 years.
To provide a regular open forum for older residents, to encourage them to have their say on issues that concern them and have those concerns considered by the Group for possible further action.
To make representation of our collective views to influence decision makers.
To provide members with current information from local and national service providers.
To encourage social contact through the forum format.
To welcome participation of all members regardless of their disability, ethnicity, gender or sexuality.
