Research tells us that older people do worse on memory tests, if they are reminded just before taking the test that people their age sometimes struggle to remember things. Older people are surrounded by negative images and attitudes about ageing. These affect how they see the potential of their later years.

 

Getting older can mean getting healthier, happier, more confident, stronger and fitter and Upliness is an online subscription website created by Jane Thurnell-Read as a solution for anyone and everyone wanting a more optimistic future, embracing life’s journey. Upliness can give you all the tools and support to show you how.

Upliness (Creating Vibrant, Realistic Age-Specific Role Models) was announced as a winner in the Silver Linings  competition – www.silverlinings.com

 

Silver Lining Circle PH Square

Silver Linings is a competition addressing the fact that care for the older generations needs investable ideas to ensure beneficiaries are provided for, and that this provision is sustainable.

Launched on January 18th by Responsible Investor, the sustainable finance media company, in collaboration with Sally Bridgeland, FIA (trustee, non-executive director and adviser), and Dr Rachel Melsom, MBBS, BSc. (Director, Medical Matrix Consulting, and practicing physician with a special interest in Older Persons Care).

The Silver Linings Competition aims to rethink how older generations can live. It was looking for ideas on how life, as we become older, can be re-thought, re-worked, joined-up and, importantly, financed. It aims to find new investable solutions by bringing together and harnessing the best ideas from technology, architecture, finance, health and care provision. The goal is for financially, socially and environmentally sustainable and accessible care for the older generations, ultimately improving quality of life and wellbeing.
