Welcome to the website for the York Older People’s Assembly (YOPA)
Our next Open Meeting is
Monday 17th March from 2 to 4pm
Our first speaker is Councillor Jo Coles, Deputy Mayor for York and North Yorkshire combined authority. Jo has responsibility for Police, Fire and crime and will be giving us an update on what is going on in the region.
In this age of scams and fraud, it is important that we are aware of the various criminal activities. Dawn Clarkson from the council’s Trading Standards team will be giving us the latest on the scams and how to avoid them.
Come along from 130 and have a coffee or tea – bring a friend.
All welcome and no charge!!
Our Spring Newsletter will also be available for collection including a tribute to our past Chair, Bob Towner. YOPA has lost a great supporter.
