Join usfor an afternoon of films about life in Manchester as we age. The Manchester Urban Ageing Film Screening will feature the following selection of thought-provoking films focusing on urban ageing:
We hope the showcase will engage the community with the challenges and opportunities faced by older adults in urban environments and promote civic engagement.
The screening will be followed by a friendly Q&A that includes older individuals involved in the films.
