Take Five

Take Five to Age Well: sign up for free to boost your health and wellbeing this May!

From 1st May, The Open University and Age UK are launching a free, UK-wide public health campaign: Take Five to Age Well. The campaign invites you to join a community of people making small daily changes for better ageing across 5 action categories: Eat, Drink, Move, Connect, and Engage and Think. You sign up online and choose an action to try everyday in May. During the month the team at the Open University sends out emails with fun facts, tips, games and resources to help you keep going.

Take Five was piloted in 2023 and over 3000 people participated with overwhelmingly positive feedback. All content is evidence-based and expert-led, helping to bring a lasting positive impact. The campaign is supported by ambassadors such as Kaye Adams from Loose Women and is open to everyone - ageing well research suggests “the sooner the better but never too late” to adopt these habits - look at the website for more details or email takefive@open.ac.uk to contact the team.

Thank you!
