Take Five to Age Well campaign launches in May

From 1st May, The Open University and Age UK are launching a free, UK-wide public health campaign: Take Five to Age Well.

The campaign invites people to  sign up online from April and commit to 30 days of healthy ageing habits that will boost health and wellbeing now and into the future. 

Taking part in Take Five, participants join a community making small daily changes for better ageing across 5 categories: 

• Eat
• Drink
• Move
• Connect
• Engage and Think

There is a Communications toolkit with a range of digital and printable posters for use to promote Take Five. There is also an information sheet and a guide to using the toolkit as well as FAQs and a guide to offline pledging which can be shared with groups taking part without the internet. Finally, there’s a resource for intergenerational ageing well learning. This toolkit will continue to grow over the next few weeks as in the development the full suite of materials and assets.
