Positive Ageing Week (PAW) 2020

Age Action is hosting a number of zoom events during the week. To access the list CLICK HERE and follow the registration process.

There are also events taking place that are organised by local groups and you can find a full list of those at the PAW website.

One event that I'd like to draw your attention to is a Quiz Evening that takes place next Tuesday and will be hosted by Mark and Annette from Age Action. It's an experiment and should be a bit of fun – details can be found HERE.

After the outbreak of COVID-19 affected the health of so many older people across the globe, the United Nations decided that the theme of the International Day of Older People (1st October) this year, would be on the impact of pandemics on how we address age and ageing.

'2020 has seen the emergence of COVID-19, which has caused upheaval across the world. Considering the higher risks confronted by older persons during the outbreak of pandemics such as COVID-19, policy and programmatic interventions must be targeted towards raising awareness of their special needs' – UN Nations Day for Older Persons
