About the organisation
We believe in setting authentic goals and sharing them widely to connect with people around us. Communication and connections are the tools and our most valuable resources. We want to be inspired and get excited. Honesty, trust, personal responsibility keeps us accountable. Bring in Change aims to improve the elderly’s mental, physical and social health through sports. We have been in contact with the elderly during the pandemic, delivering essential items to them and witnessed the significant deterioration of their mental and physical well-being, especially some of them have lost their better half under the fifth wave of covid-19 in the past two to three months. We hope, with the participation of sports trainers and volunteers, to bring new experiences to the elderly and lift them up again during this difficult time, so that they will be ageing well. Exercise is undoubtedly the simplest way to keep us happy and healthy. Yet the elderly has been staying at home most of the time these two years, not only are they lack of physical activities, they are over worried and depressed about the current situation, having difficulties to access updated information and understand the regulations they need to follow in the society. Most of us train in the gym, do bootcamps, run on road or off trail and participate in different kinds of sports on a regular bases to keep our body and mind fit. Why don’t we spend some time to do it together with the elderly, build relationship with them and help them improve their life style for active ageing? We aim to serve elderly of different strength levels: sedentary, lightly active and active old people. We will provide them with different levels of trainings, which aim to improve their muscle strength, coordination and body balance, in order to avoid accidents and injuries. The project will link up experienced sport coaches, trainers, running coaches and sports lovers in the community to serve the elderly. We believe that, as sports lovers ourselves, it is easier to build up a friendly long-term relationship with the elderly through sports. Besides sports, we would like to organize photo shooting sessions for the elderly, during which we will talk about death planning with them, and take cheerful photos for them which can later be used as their funeral portrait. We believe that every one, regardless of the age, should have a photo that they love that can be presented in their funeral. Some elderly may not have a chance to take photos, not to mention a proper portrait, or some have never taken photos with their family. It would be a good opportunity for them and for their family to think about death together, to prepare well and in a way that they prefer.
