Alive is the UK’s leading charity enriching the lives of older people and training those who care for them. Our vision is a world where older people live lives full of joy, meaning and opportunity.

We engage older people through a range of creative sessions in over 350 care settings across south and south-west England, and train care staff nationally to deliver outstanding care through meaningful engagement that fosters happy environments and leads to improved CQC ratings.

Through a series of innovative community engagements projects, we encourage care homes to find new ways to connect their residents with people and spaces outside of the home.

We support older people in the community to lead as purposeful lives as possible through our gardening, activity and support groups.
