Take Five to Age Well
Empowering all in Scotland take simple steps toward longer, healthier, and happier lives.
Our Take Five to Age Well pack, developed in collaboration with The Open University, enables organisers of community groups and services to facilitate exploration healthy ageing in group settings. The pack includes a Facilitators Handbook and printed handouts for a series 60–90-minute sessions covering habits for healthy ageing, eating well, staying hydrated, moving more, keeping your brain sharp, and connecting socially.
Staying active, engaged, well nourished and hydrated, and using your brain are key components to successful ageing. We all want to have a life well lived and simple things can help us in that quest. Take Five to Age Well provides prompts and tips to ageing well and presents them in an easy to follow format with fun ways to ensure you can take control of your ageing journey. We all need reminders and motivation to make small changes and this campaign does just this.
