2021 follows one of the most significant and challenging years in recent human history. As we tentatively move towards a post-Covid-19 world, we can begin to reflect upon the devastating impact that Covid-19 has had on all human life.
As we know too well, the impact on older generations has been particularly destructive, as well as overwhelmingly isolating.
However, during this time, we have also learned more about our capacities for solidarity, togetherness, resilience and social support. The cherry blossoms are in bloom, there is new hope in the air and the month of May each year is dedicated to Bealtaine celebrating the creativity and contribution of our older citizens to their community.
