RAY DARTLEY HELPS LAUNCH
POSITIVE AGE WEEK
Popular Irish DJ Ray Darley helped launch Positive Age Week for Age Action Ireland at a small tea-party in the Merrion Hotel yesterday (18.11.2008)
Positive Age Week, which runs from Monday 8th - Sunday 15th December 2008, was launched by Age Action Ireland to dispel many negative perceptions that surround ageing and to transform attitudes. It will also provide an opportunity to raise much needed funds for the charity.
During this week people are encouraged to organise parties that celebrate the elderly. They can be anything from a small family gathering to a street party.
Its deputy chief executive Lorraine Dorgan said, "We need to celebrate the fact that we are living longer; that ageing is not a burden but an opportunity. I would like to encourage as many people as possible around the country to take part in Positive Age Week."
Age Action Ireland is the main national independent organisation on ageing and older people. Its main aim is to improve the quality of life for older people.
To register as a fundraiser for Positive Age Week, contact Lorraine Dorgan on 01 2345678 or visit www.ageaction.ie. A nominated fund raiser at each party will accept donations from those attending.
