Take Five to Age Well: Empowering the UK towards longer, healthier lives
Do you want to live well longer? You are in the right place.
Take Five to Age Well offers five steps to boost your health and well-being. Launching on 1st May 2025, the campaign invites you to join a UK-wide community making small daily changes over 30 consecutive days for better ageing. We are asking you to choose one or more actions from the list below and try to maintain that healthy change(s) for one month, to improve your health and wellbeing in the short and longer term.
We’ll support you during those 30 days to turn those changes into a habit for long-term health and wellbeing.’
After a successful pilot in 2023 which attracted over 3000 people and had overwhelmingly positive feedback, we are back this May.

Everyone wants more time on Earth in good health and the science indicates almost all of us, regardless of our genes, can systematically do things to improve our chances of a longer and healthier life.

There are simple habits that can help us keep strong, sharp, independent, and feeling good; Take Five to Age Well aims to empower people to adopt these habits over a month long period and beyond.
