Act Now, Age Better 2026

Age UK has launched its Act Now, Age Better campaign for 2026!

We want people in mid-life (aged 50-65) to get thinking, talking and taking actions that are going to help them for years to come.

But we also know that ageing well is a team sport. So we’re here to help you make your next move towards a stronger and healthier later life, by giving advice, providing inspiration and opening doors to new ways of moving.

Building on the succcess of last year's campaign, which shared how moving more keeps you stronger and fitter for longer, Age UK are now challenging mid-lifers to take the next step towards a better life.

The new campaign is all about inspiring people to try something new from the wide range of sports and activities on offer.

Choose your next move today

While we can’t prevent ageing, we can all take action to help us age in the best way possible.

Regular movement is one of the most powerful tools you have to feel your best now and protect your future health – a bit like paying into a physical pension plan.

Start your journey towards a more active life by downloading the Act Now, Age Better: Your Next Move booklet, written by Dr Hussain Al-Zubaidi for Age UK.
