Future Lives is a UK-wide u3a group which shares information and resources to inspire, influence and inform members about how we can improve our future lives.
How can we add life to our years, and maintain our independence and quality of life for as long as possible?
The u3a Future Lives Group is run by u3a members across the country. We aim to challenge attitudes and break down physical barriers that limit and restrict people as they get older.
What can we do to improve unsuitable homes or products, isolation and poor health? Good design can be liberating – and the reverse is true! Let’s use our collective voice to bring about change.
Secrets of the Human Brain: How can we age better?
Tues 21 Jan, 2pm
Bob Pullen, u3a member and author of "Secrets of the Human Brain"
Join us as Bob Pullen talks about brain health, neurology and ageing. In his own words, the talk will include the u3a ‘Learn, Laugh & Live’ motto. This is because you will Learn something about your amazing brain and Bob will also make you Laugh with some fun activities. Finally, the talk will cover how to keep your brain going as you age.
Our Homes for Our Future Questionnaire
Will your home support your independence in the years ahead?
Perhaps you will need to adapt it in some way?
Have you thought of moving? If so, what do you want?
The sooner we plan for our future housing needs, the better the outcome – the right home can add 5 years of independent living.
We encourage you to grab a cuppa and set aside 10 minutes to complete this online questionnaire:
By completing the questionnaire, we hope this will encourage you to think about your present home and carry out any changes you think you may need, or consider what you may want if you may need to move. If enough of us fill it in, we may be able to use our collective voice to influence and widen the choices available to us.
