The AFRN is an informal peer network for voluntary and community groups and organisations that support over 55s in Rother.
The network began in April 2026 and is scheduled to run until March 2028.
The network involves
– quarterly in-person meetings (dates and locations tbc)
– monthly online (teams) catch-ups
– newsletters and occasional update emails
There is no obligation to attend all the meetings.
The Age-Friendly Rother network is coordinated by Rother Voluntary Action on behalf of Rother District Council who are leading the wider Age Friendly Rother programme. This is supported by funding from East Sussex County Council Public Health department.
Intergenerational Grants Programme
Rother District Council have launched an Intergenerational Grants programme – one of the first projects developed as part of the Age-Friendly Rother programme. It is designed to support local organisations to bring people of different ages together through shared activities to build relationships, strengthen communities, and improve wellbeing.
