This week we celebrated ageing well with a Wellness Event.
Age Without Limits is an annual campaign designed to challenge negative assumptions about aging and celebrate all the wonderful things that come with age.
We kicked off the day with an hour-long open exercise class for older people, followed by creative exercises, discussions, music and a fun foot talk from our brilliant podiatrist about how to keep your feet healthy in old age.
In discussion about what age brings into our lives, we received a great range of responses:
- Wisdom
- Children and grandchildren
- Knowledge
- Life experience
- Skills and trade
- Respect
- Money management
- Running a household
Assumptions we challenged were:
- Why do some people think older people are invisible?
- Why do people ask my age so often?
- Why do people think that being over 60 should limit you?
- Mum's can stay young at heart!
- You’re never too old to grab a coffee with a friend or go on a date!
Alongside the festivities, we facilitated over 40 clinical health checks with the help of Brent Public Health’s roving NHS nurses. Thank you Ish, Tracey, Dianne and Sandhya for your support.
Quote of the day came from Anita who said "I love coming to my Wellness Club, I would be lost without it. It has kept me well in body and mind, Everyone should come here"
