EnvisAGE

We've launched the tenth edition today of EnvisAGE - Age Cymru's annual journal about issues that affect older people.
EnvisAGE aims to stimulate discussion and share good practice on older people's issues.
This edition looks at ‘active ageing'.
The World Health Organisation defines active ageing as maximising ‘opportunities for health, participation and security in order to enhance quality of life as people age'.
Age Cymru invites guest writers to provide articles for EnvisAGE.
The 10th edition issue of Envisage contains contributions from:
• Dr Ruth Hussey OBE - the Chief Medical Officer for Wales;
• Lisa Turnbull - Senior Fellow, Welsh Institute for Health & Social Care, University of South Wales;
• Glenn Little - Age Cymru's Physical Activity Development Officer;
