Curiosity! Asking Personal Questions in Bradford Dale.
Her sad comment was “I am too old. I am wrinkled”
Isnt that wicked? A happy attractive smiling woman with twinkling eyes and a clearly loving partner is ashamed of her age? What have we as a society done?
Definitely time to change! #AgeProud is an absolutely necessary campaign.
After that cheekily asked asked everyone on the path how old they were!
All but one of the 8 pairs of walkers we met on a Monday walk in the Peak District were over 65!
Knees, Peas, Pride and a Wheelie Bin…
Such a shame, no one there to video it….almost certainly would have gone viral!
Our Campaign: Negative to Positive. Pride in Ageing!
The campaign. was started because we, recognised that our society has a problem.
A negative view of old age, whether held by others, or by ourselves, is harmful. It affects our health, mental and physical, our social wellbeing, and the extent to which we enjoy life. It affects our employment opportunities. And certainly underlies many of the problems facing the NHS and Social Services.
ReBranding Due? Old Age the NEW Model.
The Old Age Brand is saddled with a historically bad press. It has acquired an image of faults, dysfunction and unreliability. Seen as to be avoided.
Old Age needs a Re Brand. And Our Campaign can do it.
Intergenerational Graffiti? Yes!
I had not realised though that its image has changed and today Graffiti is a recognised section of the Arts. New to me that there were competitions, exhibitions, different genres and world renowned valued artists whose work people would pay £5 to see! Turning up in here in Glasgow in their thousands over two days!
We have a problem.
