Picture Yourself Age Authentic Image Libary

Promoting authentic images of ageing to challenge ageist stereotypes in the media through a freely accessible and inclusive online image library.

Photo walks

Our photo walks blend creativity with physical activity, inviting participants to explore their surroundings through the lens of a camera. This project encourages creative expression, builds social connections, and improves mobility, making it a favorite for many.

Tech skills

The Tech Skills program empowers participants to embrace new technologies, from smartphone photography to digital editing. This project fosters confidence and engagement, helping older adults connect with friends, family, and their community in the digital age.

“For many of them, they had become much less social over recent years, many feeling the effects of losing a partner, and so the project became a safe opportunity to connect again.”
