At our We’re Here Too events we asked people what they need to stay well.

Despite asking the question in three completely different parts of Scotland, to three diverse rooms of people, the answers were all very similar. From spending time with friends and family, trying new things, having time to yourself and keeping active, the things that keep us well all seem to be pretty straightforward and simple.

As we put together our We’re Here Too report we are thinking about how we can make sure that older people have lives full of the things that keep them well.

We also asked what people thought we need more of. These varied a lot depending on who answered the questions. We had care workers explaining how they wanted the freedom to be able to take risks and older people who wanted a listening ear.

To find out more about what was said at the events, and what we plan to do with what we have learnt, keep an eye out for our We’re Here Too report which we will be publishing in the next month or so.
