Many people are feeling gloomy about the failure of successive governments to tackle care as we age. The aim of this 90 minute Future Lives session, and our first ever panel, is to showcase some examples of inspirational, community level initiatives to instil hope and optimism that small things can make a big difference.

Our panel includes:

Kiki Gale, Why Dance?
Jon Devlin, Compassionate Communities, Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice
Tania Woods, Live Longer Better in Hertfordshire
Chris Skrabski, Age UK Hertfordshire

Each person will speak for about 15 minutes and then we will open up into a discussion

About Future Lives

This event is part of the Future Lives series of talks; the u3a’s Future Lives group explores how we can have a better later life, aiming to challenge attitudes and break down physical barriers that restrict people as they get older. We’re finding out what we can do to improve unsuitable homes, limit isolation and overcome poor health. Good design can be liberating – and the reverse is true! We want to use our collective voice to bring about change. Find out more on the Future Lives webpage.

Contact impact@u3a.org.uk for more information or if you have any questions.

This event is for u3a members only and will be held online via Zoom. To find out more about u3a and how to join, visit: https://u3a.org.uk/join
