Planning for Your Future Day is an event on Tuesday, March 11, aimed at helping people plan for the life they want when they are older.

Two free events, one at Guildford Baptist Church and one online, to equip people with information to make the right decisions at a time when they may need extra support.

It is part of a campaign run by Surrey County Council and Age UK Surrey and aims to raise awareness of care and support options, costs of social care and ways to maintain independence.

The events will cover key topics such as care options, typical costs of care, powers of attorney and practical steps to stay independent for longer, including equipment and technology in the home.

The in-person event starts at 11am and will include a talk, questions and answers session, and light refreshments, with everyone attending able to leave with a checklist containing a reminder of the key points.

Alongside the council’s adult social care team and Age UK Surrey, the event will be attended by other organisations such as Mole Valley Life, who can help respond to falls, and the Society of Later Life Advisors, who are financial planning experts.

There will be an online version of the presentation the same evening at 7pm.

Both sessions can be booked by visiting the Planning for Your Future information hub on the Age UK Surrey website.
