Caroline McKeown from Mid and East Antrim Agewell Partnership said: “This is a great opportunity for older people from Mid and East Antrim to make their voice heard.
“If you’re sixty or over, why not come along and see what it’s all about? The parliament is a great forum for local older people to raise concerns they may have about healthcare, the cost of living, community safety and much more.”
