Age Concern at 40: Proving Age is just a number

Age Concern Central Lancashire, the county’s multi-award-winning older people’s charity, has unveiled ambitious plans for the future as it celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2021.

The anniversary is a significant and extremely positive milestone, and while for some hitting their 40s can start a mid-life crisis, the charity is welcoming its ruby anniversary with open arms.

As part of its plans, the organisation is recruiting ‘Age is Just a Number’ ambassadors who epitomise “positivity and vitality” and prove that a positive mindset about ageing is something we should all aspire to adopt.

Those recruited will be shining examples from across all sectors and backgrounds and will hopefully provide inspiration and motivation to many people as they start to assess their own future and how they would like to grow older.

The charity also has a packed schedule of events planned and has set an ambitious fundraising target of £40,000 to help support its charitable endeavours.
