Discover Brightlife

Once leading a busy bustling life within her community - suddenly Audrey found herself housebound with health complications and no driving licence living alone in a sleepy Cheshire village. Widowed at 59 and now 90, in this episode of Discover Brightlife, Audrey reads a letter to her 30 year-old self. She considers Brightlife a lifeline to helping her find hobbies and friends - proving that you’re never too old for anything in life. Finding her talents in poetry and art lead to her appearance on page 3 of the local paper to an interview on BBC radio, to being the subject of a leading American health conference discussing loneliness! There’s also a chance to meet some of the project’s inspirational women, celebrated during International Women’s Day 2018. Brightlife is part of the National Lottery funded Ageing Better programme set up by the Big Lottery Fund to help combat social isolation and loneliness. Visit BrightlifeCheshire.org.uk
