Many of our ageing community are now on Facebook and we hope to reach as many people as possible. http://www.facebook.com/goldiescymru
Every week we will have either a pre-recorded Mini session or a LIVE session, as well as other posts throughout the coming weeks to engage with those that are lonely and isolated. We hope that people will join in with us, send in requests, comment and share our posts and videos to help keep the Goldies and wider community feel connected at this time.
