The embryo Elmbridge 50 + aspires to attract local members of this increasing age group who are able and keen to do more than coast down from the foothills, but want to cast aside obstacles on the path farther up the mountain. The question is: How we use our experience, knowledge and resources to assist the Borough Council and other appropriate groups to achieve even better outcomes for the benefit of the entire community?
