Today is known as ‘Blue Monday’ due to a combination of post-Christmas blues, cold dark nights & money worries. Age Connects charities throughout Wales are raising awareness of the continued loneliness facing older people. #connectedagainstloneliness https://t.co/bFVLKypLFD

Not sure I’ll ever see anything more touching. Here’s an elderly gentleman with dementia being taken back to the Kop end at Anfield by using a VR headset. He sings every single word of You’ll Never Walk Alone. #Digitalinnovation #digitalinclusion #VR #reminiscence

[Older People’s Commissioner for Wales @talkolderpeople]

The Commissioner’s State of the Nation report shows that whilst we have some strong foundations to build on, action is needed to improve older people’s lives and make Wales the best place in the world to grow older.

[Ageing Better @Ageing_Better]

2019 marks 50 years since the term ‘ageism’ was coined by Robert Butler. And yet research shows that today, later life is still strongly associated with being frail, lonely and sad.

Join us in changing this negative language. #AgeProud #IDOP2019

We are discussing ageism with older people around the world, to help them recognise and challenge the injustices they experience because of their age.
