International Day of Older Persons 2026
This year’s International Day of Older People will be celebrated on 1 October 2026, with the theme “On Your Doorstep”, highlighting the importance of local connections, community support, and the services and opportunities available to older people close to home.
To mark the occasion, Age Friendly Salford will be hosting a special celebration event on 1 October, bringing together older people, community groups, voluntary organisations, and services from across the city.
If you are an organisation that supports or works with older people, or if you are an older person who would like to attend, we would love to hear from you. Get in touch with the Age Friendly Salford team to find out more and see if we can book you a place at this exciting community celebration.
