International Day of Older People: Bringing support and services ‘to the doorstep’
Today is the 36th United Nations International Day of Older People. The day serves to raise awareness and mobilise action on the issues faced by ageing populations. As a charitable foundation focused entirely on supporting the research and social innovation needed for ageing well, this awareness day is something we at the Vivensa Foundation can really get behind – today and every day.
