We are excited to announce that Act Now Age Better is back for 2026! This year, we're encouraging those aged 50-65 to move a little more so that they can age better. To help make that next move towards a healthier later life, we’re delighted to be supported by over 50 sporting partners who are offering lots of different ways to get you moving this summer. From walking versions of your favourite sport to more challenging classes, there’s something for everyone. Visit the link in our bio for more info and stay tuned for lots more over the summer. #ActNowAgeBetter

Sara's love of cricket dates back to her childhood, now 66, she's set up her own walking cricket team. #WalkingCricket is a walking version of the traditional game that’s low-impact and inclusive. After retiring, Sara read an article about this version of the game and got in touch. She's since set up an older ladies' group, with 24 enthusiastic members in their 60s and 70s who love their team and making friends while staying active. Tap the link in our bio to read about the how she reconnected with the sport she loved in her younger years🏏 #ActNowAgeBetter

Ready to come raving with @djagonline and @age_uk ? 🪩🕺 Yep, you read that right. Back in 2024, you helped Age UK fund 10,000,000 minutes of friendship through the Lake District House Draw, helping fight loneliness in later life. Today, we met Lenny for a fitness class with a difference, plus a very special guest on the decks… #ageuk #djag #dayrave
