Open Age was established in 1993 and we’re now celebrating over 25 years of championing an active life for older people. We work across Kensington and Chelsea, Westminster and Hammersmith and Fulham to enable anyone aged 50 or older to sustain their physical and mental fitness, maintain an active lifestyle and develop new and stimulating interests. At Open Age we provide opportunities for our members to take part in meaningful activities, strengthen their sense of community, rediscover old hobbies, find new ones, make new friends, and most of all, have fun! By doing this we can combat loneliness and isolation and improve the health and wellbeing of older Londoners.
The Be Active Project at Open Age pairs volunteers with older people to help them complete their prescribed physiotherapy activities or get out and about in their communities. Volunteers receive training from Open Age and our NHS partners, and applications are welcome any time!
