Our Vision
We look
forward to the day when there is
an abundance of community groups for older people
across the UK where a wide
range of needs are
being met - physical,
social, spiritual, emotional and cognitive; where
at least one member has the knowledge, confidence and
skills required to provide a range of activities that will enrich
the lives older people in their local community, thereby improving health, quality of life
and feelings of self worth.
We will seek to
realise this vision by:
Ø
setting up and running high
quality, community based Younger 4 Longer groups
Ø
assisting others to set up
and run similar programmes by offering
good quality, evidence based, accredited training which provides the knowledge, skills, confidence
and competence required to
deliver this much needed service
Our Mission
We are passionate in our desire to
promote the overall health, well-being and quality of life of
older people in our communities. We believe that by
working together, we will be able to guarantee
easy access to opportunities that will help to maintain health,
strength and independence, enhance feelings of self worth and enrich
the lives of countless people, thereby ensuring that no person is forced to live a lonely, isolated life which is devoid of
meaningful relationships.
