Seniors/Elders Section

This page provides contacts and information about the Seniors and Elders Associations and Clubs in Newcastles around the World, and related information of interest to older people.

“OLDER VOICES”

We start with recordings from The Newcastle upon Tyne “Older Voices” Radio programmes at the end of October and beginning of November 2023. These editions are about the 2023 Newcastle of the World conference and features interview with delegates from several of our “Newcastles” that were represented at the conference.

There have been several links between seniors in our different Newcastles via the Older Voices programme and via elders organisations. This has included interviews and link-ups via Zoom with representatives from New Castle, Indiana (USA), Newcastle New South Wales (Australia), Nyborg (Denmark), Newcastle, Ontario (Canada), Shinshiro (Japan), Neuburg an der Donau (Germany) and Nové Hrady (Czech Republic).
