Simple Changes #55
Promote opportunities for older people to engage in culture, through the Gwanwyn Festival.
Problem
Statistics show that older people in Wales find it more difficult than younger people to access cultural or recreational facilities. Age Cymru facilitates the annual Gwanwyn Festival, running throughout May, to encourage as many older people as possible take part in creative activities across Wales. 89% of participants reported benefit to their well-being as a result of attending a Gwanwyn event.
Simple Change
By promoting opportunities for older people to take part or experience this festival in their local community and beyond, you are helping to ensure that older people in Wales have the opportunity to celebrate their creativity and be a part of something that might help shape their lives for the rest of the year.
