New Forest Wealth Management is sponsoring a special FREE exhibition organised by Oakhaven Hospice on Saturday 28th September 2024 at Brockenhurst College.
The Own Your Later Life Exhibition aims to help you to become more informed as you advance along life’s journey, enabling you to make better decisions and to own your future by knowing and understanding which services and businesses are here to support you locally.
Exhibitors at the event will include local care options, health and wellbeing services, estate planning, adult education courses, hobbies and retirement opportunities. The event will be an excellent opportunity to browse and chat with local services and organisations.
Throughout the day, a series of interesting talks have been organised, including ‘Eating for Longevity’ with Annie Winter Nutrition, ‘The importance of movement as we age’ with Health Coach Olly Leicester, ‘Accessing support locally’ with the Citizens Advice Bureau, ‘Avoiding fraud and scams’ with Claire Pratley from Barclays Bank and ‘Later life conversations’ with Adam Johnson from New Forest Wealth Management. For details of timings and to book your seat for these free talks, please register in advance at www.oakhavenhospice.co.uk/own-your-later-life.
The exhibition will take place between 10am and 4pm, with free parking available at the college. The event is free for anyone to attend and, as part of the day, there will be refreshments available and a raffle to raise money for Oakhaven Hospice.
Denise Major, Director of Patient Services at Oakhaven said; “Many who attend the Oakhaven Wellbeing groups and support activities at our Coates Centre have shared that it would be useful to have more information about the organisations and services available in the local community. Life can change in so many different ways as we get older – for some, this might mean more time to try a new hobby or do the things they love, whilst others might need a little help at home or advice about wills. The Own Your Later Life Exhibition aims to provide information for everyone that might be useful as the years advance, in a calm and relaxed environment. We look forward to welcoming you.”
Vikki Hodgson, Practice Manager for New Forest Wealth Management, said; “We are excited to sponsor this important event. Planning for later life is key. Funding some form of long-term care, whether at home or in a residential care setting, is increasingly likely. And as you may know, it’s not cheap. Few of us relish the thought of having a conversation with our families about their finances. Yet it can be one of the most important conversations for them and you that you will ever have. The financial and emotional impacts that can come as a result of a failure to plan can be deep and long-lasting for those left behind. We are proud to be working alongside Oakhaven Hospice to provide accessible information in this area of planning.”
