Following on from the successful 'POPP in Your
Library Week' last October, people are invited to 'POPP in Your
Library Again'.
Last year's event took place in the larger libraries in North
Somerset, and in response to requests this year POPP will be
visiting some of the smaller libraries.
North Somerset (Partnerships for Older People) POPP is trialling
new ways of working, to support older people maintain independence
through preventing deterioration in health and quality of life. For
the purposes of POPP an older person is defined as being 50+.
North Somerset POPP involves five projects which are working to
support older people, including older carers and older people of
the local black and minority ethnic population, pavement repair to
avoid falls, recruiting volunteers to help support older people and
develop local services.
To publicise the POPP project and highlight the great resources
available in your local library, POPP will be visiting a number of
the smaller libraries throughout North Somerset. Project workers
will be available in the libraries to talk about the project on the
following days:
- 7 April Weston and Yatton Library
- 8 April Winscombe Library
- 9 April Backwell Library (PM only)
- 10 April Worle Library
- 11 April Pill and Banwell Library
If you are 50+ and would like to help us develop services for
older people, come and talk to us about what would make life better
as an older person in North Somerset.
If you know someone who is 50+ and isolated or struggling to
maintain a quality of life, please come and talk to us and find
about the services available through POPP and how we are working to
develop services to help.
If you are can't visit a library, and would like more
information on POPP please call 01275 888 650 or visit our
