#CareCollective
One of our biggest aims is to change the often negative perception that comes with entering elderly adulthood. Our Care Collective guides aim to do exactly that, by providing tips, activities and advice to enhance living in later life.
From providing companionship to older adults through a pen pal scheme, to looking at how we can help elderly people be happy, active and healthy, we’re proud of our Care Collective blog section and the role it plays in tackling stereotypes surrounding older adults.
