BJF Partnerships
By listening to, learning from, and sharing people’s stories of ageing, we can work together to help build a future for all ages.
BJF regularly has new activities and projects to offer, and we are keen to work with other groups and individuals to develop projects to meet our aims and objectives.
Here are some of our current Partnership Activities:
