A fantastic pro-ageing organisation; challenging the media narrative around ageing - Advantages of Age held their awards last week at the beautiful Hoxton Hall. I'd been nominated for one of the categories 'Style Queen' π
Tbh I was both delighted & extremely rattled as I've always found competitions difficult. We are overwhelmed by TV programming pitting people against each other and I find them deeply unpleasant. But I got over myself and attended in a fabulous Badge coat I made but don't wear often as it's flipping heavy and badges fly offππ€ͺ
The categories were full of hugely inspiring individuals and organisations way more worthy than being feted for looking stylish occasionally. π Having said that, It was such an amazing, positive event that it felt an honour to be nominated amongst such wonderful peopleβ£οΈ

Very happily, I had nominated an organisation I absolutely love called 'All Ages Hackney' who won the Pro-ageing Social club category! Everyone involved was totally thrilled π and it may help them with funding which would be fabulous π€
I didn't 'win' which is π― fine too.

Congratulations to EVERYONE who was nominated. You ALL deserved to win for championing pro-ageing and contributing to an ageing population in exciting and radical ways. I recommend following Advantages of Age FB & checking out their website. Look up the categories and organisations, they were all incredibly inspiring and wonderful.
