Course Facilitators:
Advantages of Age seeks to create a new storyline about what it means to be old that does not mean being ‘past it’ by hosting workshops, classes and courses with the aim of providing those over 50 with the skills and resources they need to feel more confident, resilient and socially connected. They have an active Facebook group of over 3k. Come join them and help challenge the media narrative around ageing!
