Positive Ageing Week

This event has ended

Various Locations, Friday 26th September - Friday 3rd October

This Positive Ageing Week, we’re celebrating the power of connection across generations.

Ageing well isn’t just about living longer—it’s about living better, with meaning, joy, and a sense of belonging. One of the most powerful ways to achieve that is through intergenerational connections.

When older and younger generations come together, something magical happens:

Wisdom meets curiosity – life lessons shared, and fresh ideas embraced.

Traditions meet innovation – stories, culture, and skills passed down, while new technologies open doors.

Loneliness meets friendship – creating bonds that strengthen communities and bring joy to daily life.

This year we are launching our brand new Time For Tea coffee morning! A coffee morning is always a wonderful way to bring people together – but when it’s intergenerational, it becomes something truly special.

Bringing young and older people around the same table creates opportunities for conversation, laughter, and learning that enrich everyone’s lives.
