Welcome to the Age-tervention episode 3!

Our ‘wellbeing coach’ Raymond is showing 40-somethings Adam and Danielle how investing in healthy habits can contribute to ageing well.

Today they’re trying out volunteering.

Volunteering your time and energy to support causes close to your heart helps so many people, not to mention the health and wellbeing benefits you'll experience along the way.

For example, loneliness is a huge contributor to ill health in later life. Volunteering is great for socialising and being part of a team – combating loneliness and providing a sense of purpose.

In this episode, Olivia from Barrow Farm Riding for the Disabled talks to Adam and Danielle about how they support disabled and elderly visitors with their ponies. It was an emotional and touching afternoon as the couple saw how much value is added to the lives of the visitors, and how much enjoyment can be had from being a volunteer. 🐎

And to top it off, they all had tea and cake together, delicious! 🍰☕

Remember - It’s never too early to start ageing well.

Experience the joy of taking part! Volunteering is a great way to make a difference in your community; but did you know it’s also beneficial to your health and wellbeing?

While there’s no financial reward, the impact of volunteering is priceless – and not just for the charities and organisations receiving your support.

It can be a transformative experience to many; positively affecting their physical, mental and emotional health.

The reason that you get a ‘helper’s high’ from volunteering is that your brain’s pleasure and reward centres are activated when you do something kind – in a similar way to when you receive a kindness. Kindness is also associated with lower blood pressure and levels of the stress hormone cortisol.

As we age, being an active part of your community becomes really important to avoid social isolation, anxiety, and loneliness – all of which contribute to ill health as we get older.

Why not take some time to see what opportunities for volunteering are available in your own community?

and more.

Welcome to the Age-tervention episode 2!

Our ‘wellness coach’ Raymond is guiding Adam and Danielle to take up some positive habits to set them up for healthy ageing.

Now it’s time to stretch that brain – imagination and learning are key to keeping the ‘little grey cells’ tip top. 🧠

Art tutor Bianca () is going to show our two youngsters (in their 40s 😉) how to create art for wellbeing, in a beautiful lakeside park. Appreciating the scenery by painting it is a great mindful activity.

Learning a new skill such as painting helps keep your brain agile and better able to cope with changes or injuries. 🎨🖌

As you can see, Adam and Danielle found this activity really fun and engaging, which is a key way of keeping your brain sharp.✔

Anyone can benefit from doing a creative activity like this!

Remember - It’s never too early to start ageing well.

Welcome to the Age-tervention!

Meet Raymond, our ‘wellness coach,’ guiding Adam and Danielle—two forty-somethings who admit they could probably be doing more now to age well in their future.

Today begins the ‘Age-tervention’ reset. Midlife is a turning point; the habits you form today shape tomorrow. Watch as Raymond, a seasoned wellness coach (qualifications: the school of life, 78 years’ experience), aims to shake up their routine.

They’re motivated but need a push, so we’ll start with practical steps: breathing exercises for relaxation, then Anneka shows how strength training supports lasting muscle and bone health for all ages. This is just the start—stay tuned for more in their Age-tervention journey in the next episode.

Remember - it's never too early to start ageing well.

Behind the scenes with our member Sue 🐑

We went to a beautiful Welsh mountain early one morning to film Sue – a 76-year-old sheep farmer telling us about her story for our ‘member story video’.

Sue took us all around her farm and the house that her family has farmed from for generations. The farm is so high on the mountain that we were actually in the clouds for the morning! ☁

Sue isn’t slowing down. In fact, when she’s on her quad bike, she’s speeding up! It was really inspiring to see how Sue runs her farm and it gave us a real insight into her life and the importance of health to keep Sue fit to do the job she loves. 👩🏼‍🌾

The stone barn was home to a nest of swallows, and she’d been shearing sheep there the week before. It was a perfect location to talk about her life, and it was so great to see Sue in her environment – continuing her family’s farming legacy, feeling younger at 76 than she did at 58.

Sue’s story involves two challenging health journeys: A shoulder injury and cancer diagnosis. Using her AXA Health membership, she quickly accessed the treatment and care she needed to get back on the farm quickly.

Later in the day Sue showed us some of the jobs she does at the farm – including using her fabulous vintage tractor. 🚜

Let’s talk about mental health! 🌟🧠

At AXA Health, we’re committed to ensuring that Mind Health remains a priority. Earlier in the year, the fifth edition of our Mind Health Study uncovered some challenging insights.

Having a conversation with a family member, a friend or a colleague can be the first step in improving your mental health. While it may seem daunting, talking to others often helps lessen feelings of loneliness or anxiety and it can be the first step toward things improving.

In our Group Therapy documentary, we invited a group of stand-up comedians to share their personal stories about managing their mind health. Whether that be working through family challenges, supporting friends or managing stresses at work, they all found that talking made a real difference. They believe sharing can be therapeutic.

Watch the documentary, featuring comedians Neil Patrick Harris, Nicole Byer, Atsuko Okatsuka and more…
