bupa.co.ukBupa's Community Spirit Week is an annual initiative which helps tackle the problems of isolation amongst older people in the community. Care homes across the UK invite local people to join their residents in a host of fun-packed activities to help mark UK Older People's Day, ranging from quizzes and tea dances to afternoon teas and musical entertainment.
Launched by the government, UK Older People's Day (1st October) aims to create a positive view of later life, celebrate older people's achievements.
Both Bupa's Community Spirit Week and UK Older People's Day provide the perfect opportunity to celebrate later life and recognise the role that older people play in our lives and to ensure they know they are an important part of our communities.
