Open Age

Open Age is an innovative, charitable, user led organisation, established in 1993. It is built on the desire of older people to contribute to their own and others well being. We aim to promote the education, recreation, health & social welfare of older people to improve their quality of life. Our objectives are to provide a wide range of physical, creative & mentally stimulating activities. To encourage & support social interaction, reduce loneliness, isolation & depression. We also want to provide a network for older people & a focus for community involvement. Our main areas of work are: A drop in centre providing information, advice and support. Tutored learning & groups held in 17 different accessible venues including exercise classes, art, drama, educational visits, creative writing, health talks, therapy sessions such as massage & reflexology. A dedicated computer room with internet access providing specific training for older people, based on work developed by 'Senior Net' in America. A Positive Age Centre in North Kensington, specialising in Arts and Health activities.
