Taking ageing and faith seriously

Britain is experiencing a new phenomenon in its history. There are more people over 60 in the population than under 16. This brings both opportunities and challenges. How to navigate our new longevity is a question that everyone has to face up to.

The PSALM strapline is “taking ageing and faith seriously”. We take ageing and faith seriously because there is growing evidence that faith is a helpful tool as we negotiate our 3rd and 4th ages. Studies show us that prayer and attending church (yes!) are strongly linked with a positive experience of growing old.

By providing opportunities for us to draw on the resources of our faith – and to discover new ones, we equip ourselves to respond to this new map of life.
