This is special edition of the Open Forum’s that Bristol Older People’s Forum members attend. We'll be celebrating some of our current projects and action we've taken to create positive change in Bristol over the last 30+ years.
Open Forums offer BOPF members the opportunity to listen to interesting and informative speakers, as well as take part in lively debate and discussion. Our Open Forum meetings are aimed at the over 55s, but everyone of all ages is welcome to attend. We are an inclusive organisation.
