Planning for Your Future Day 2025
Published on 10 March 2025 02:10 PM
You are being invited to take part in the first-ever Planning for Your Future Day aimed at helping people plan for the later life they want.
Two FREE events – one in Guildford followed in the evening by the online webinar – are being held on 11 March to equip people with information to make the right decisions at a time when they may need extra support.
Planning for Your Future Day – part of a campaign run by Age UK Surrey in partnership with Surrey County Council – aims to raise awareness of care and support options, social care costs, and ways to maintain independence. By understanding options and starting conversations with loved ones early, people can make informed choices and avoid rushed decisions in a crisis.
Planning for Your Future Day is believed to be the first of its kind in the country and is already gaining regional momentum. Three other local authorities —Hampshire, Oxfordshire, and West Berkshire — are also inviting their residents to join the online event.
In Surrey, more than 2,000 people have already attended a Planning for Your Future presentation held in a community location or joined an online webinar, and nine in ten people would recommend it to a friend.
The IN-PERSON EVENT will be held from 11am – 1pm on Tuesday 11 March at the Guildford Baptist Church, Millmead, Guildford GU2 4BE. It will include a talk, Q&A and some light refreshments, with everyone who comes along able to leave with a checklist containing a reminder of the key points. (Parking is available at Portsmouth Road, Millmead and other local car parks).
The evening’s ONLINE PRESENTATION will take place on 11 March from 7pm.
