What’s On – Opportunities to Learn, Connect, and Get Involved

Looking for ways to learn, connect, volunteer, and take part in activities that support positive ageing? Our What’s On page is a shared space for residents, volunteers, community leaders, and partner organisations across Wakefield District to highlight events, learning opportunities, and activities that matter.

This page is just getting started, and we want it to grow with your contributions. Everyone, of all ages, is welcome to share their events and ideas. Whether you’re a resident, volunteer, community leader, or organisation, your events help others connect, learn, and thrive, while contributing to a more age-friendly district.

Your ideas and events matter

If you are a resident, community leader, or partner organisation running an event that fits with positive ageing themes, please share the details with us. By contributing, you help build a shared, growing resource that promotes social connection, celebrates later life, supports volunteering and learning, and influences positive change across Wakefield District.

Together, we can make it easier for everyone to find events, learning, volunteering opportunities, and connections that help people age well, live positively, and feel valued.
