OLDER & BOLDER
Event Information
Description
Your chance to meet a team of campaigners in their 70s 80s and 90s. We’re redefining the meaning of health and wellbeing in later life.
The ‘Stay Mobile Stay Connected’ Champions are spearheading a campaign to change attitudes and turn the conventional medical model on its head.
Our mission is to change the script. Our radical message to their own generation is:
- Don’t let doctors and hospital appointments rule your life.
- The key is to Stay Mobile and Stay Connected
- Prevention is better than cure. And cheaper
- By staying well, we save the NHS money
- Our campaign is a rescue mission for the NHS
World premiere of four short animated films made by the Campaign Champions – it’s the first time in our lives we’ve tried animation, but it’s never to late to start something new.
If you are old like us - or if you hope to be old one day, or you have any relatives or friends who are old, or if you work in health or social care or community safety - come along to OLDER AND BOLDER and discover the secrets of our campaign. We invite you to get involved.
‘Stay Mobile Stay Connected’ is a ROAR campaign, led by older adults, co-facilitated with media co-op, co-produced with many allies.
ROAR is Age Scotland’s Charity of the Year. ‘Stay Mobile Stay Connected’ is winner of the Herald Charity Awards.
