Many people over 60 years of age in the UK are spending their later years taking up new hobbies and activities, according to research from Age UK. 71 percent of those over 60 years old are meeting new challenges like learning a foreign language, taking to the dance floor, or even taking part in outdoor activities like bungee jumping and mountain climbing.
The new survey looks at attitudes towards later life in people aged 18 and above and has been conducted to mark the start of a new TV advertising campaign. With the positive attitudes of many of those aged 60 and above who describe their lifestyle as interesting (38 percent), varied (42 percent), fun (20 percent) and satisfying (24 percent), it shows the nation that growing older does not mean that interests and hobbies should stop.
It features people doing what they enjoy, celebrating later life and all that it can offer. This is in sharp contrast to some younger people's ideas of old age as boring and slower-paced. Among those featured are a Tai Chi group, dancers, a 91-year-old bodybuilder, and an 81-year-old singing leading lady. Many of them are people who have been directly helped by Age UK. The advertisement aims to show the different services and products that Age UK offers and how it can help people to make the most of later life.
Michelle Mitchell, Charity Director at Age UK said, "Through our research and the exciting new TV advertisement, we hope to show another side of growing older and encourage people of all ages to take up some hobbies. One in five says that they have felt more comfortable in their own skin since they reached 60 years of age, and this confidence helps to give people the drive to try the activities they have always wanted to try."
