AN AIREBOROUGH charity is inviting the public to join its celebration of International Day of Older People.

AVSED (Aireborough Voluntary Services to the Elderly) will stage the zoom event at 2pm on Thursday, October 1. Lord Mayor of Leeds Cllr Eileen Taylor will join in.

A spokeswoman said: “Every year Leeds finds new ways to celebrate older people and their contribution to society. This year’s theme is Age Proud: time to feel good about Ageing. This theme is about celebrating ageing and challenging the perception of older age and turning the perceived negatives into positives. Raising awareness of the diversity of activity for older people across Leeds and supporting the ambition for Leeds to be the Best City to Grow Old In.We have decided to celebrate through dance this year so please join us to watch our video which showcases members of our community from age three to 93 as they dance through the decades. Please join us on Zoom and watch the dance video, followed by a chat about your favourite music and dancing.”
