What is Ageing Well Torbay?Ageing Well Torbay is in the fifth year of a six-year long project, funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, which aims to reconnect communities and reduce loneliness & social isolation among over 50-year-olds across Torbay.
Older people have told us that they are isolated and lonely due to retirement, bereavement, low income, poor health and mobility, lack of transport, and fear of leaving their homes. From work carried out with our partners over the last few years, we know that there are isolated older people in every neighbourhood of Torbay.
Did you know?• Approximately45%ofTorbay’spopulationwillbeovertheageof50by2020•Morethan6,000residentsareisolated• ThemajorityofTorbaypeoplethatweaskedhaveanegativeviewofageing• Over50’swantanddeservetobetreatedwithrespectandyetmanyfeelless valuedbecauseoftheirage

L o v eL i v eL a u g hL e a r n
Welcome to the Ageing Well Festival 2019 delivered by a hard-working group of over 50-year-olds for over 50-year-olds.
Once again we have a fantastic line up of dance, music, talks, pampering and fashion, exercise and relaxation all tailored with you in mind.
This is our fifth festival – each has been bigger and more ambitious than the last – and we are hoping that this year we have built on all that we have learned to make this the most successful yet.
Having enjoyed today if you think we have missed something or there is something you want to see at what could well be our last festival next year then please do give us your feedback. Even better, why not join our hardworking committee who will start on the 2020 programme within weeks of the doors closing on this extravaganza.
But for now, take a moment to plan using this guide and the detailed map on page 14, and then join us to browse stalls and advice stands in the Arena Exhibition Hall.
This year we are lucky enough to have blogger and age campaigner ‘Grandma’ Joyce Williams opening the Festival at 11:30am in the Forum Hall before going on to give a talk of her own in Rosetor at 1pm. Not only have we some first class entertainment presented by our very own talented Torbay residents, we also have our very own former club circuit comedian, Vic Boulton to compère it all in the Forum Hall.
We are confident that there is something for everyone somewhere in these halls today and we hope that you will learn something new or perhaps return to something you gave up a while ago.
The music is from the fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties – feel free to sing along or dance your heart out but most of all just enjoy yourself because as an over 50-year-old living in the Bay, today is all about you.
As we pulled this programme together we concentrated on the words that have become our mantra – Love, Live, Laugh and Learn. Enjoy.
Contact us: email ageingwell@torbaycdt.org.uk or phone 01803 212638.
