For over seven years, Up & Out has been dedicated to supporting the elderly community by promoting connection, choice and active engagement. We've created and donated hundreds of our Up & Out activity books to care homes and hospitals - resources designed to inspire conversation, support meaningful interaction between carers, doctors and residents, and help conquer loneliness.

Our work also encourages movement and independence for older people, helping them stay active for longer, which not only boosts wellbeing but also eases the daily workload on care staff. Through regular visits and continued support, we’re committed to ensuring every older person feels seen, heard and empowered to live life fully.

​

Watch the film below to see our books in action and if you’d like to support the project, you can purchase a book directly through our website. For every book sold here, we donate another to a care home or hospital. The books are also available on Amazon, but buying through our site means your purchase directly helps us give back.
