The Laterlife Challenge is all about enjoying retirement, in particular recognising those who are making the most of their retirement and are great role models for us all.

It's also an opportunity for us all to participate in doing something about making the most of our own retirement. during the course of 2010!

We haven't yet formally launched the 2010 Laterlife Challenge  but if you would like to pre-enter, the entry forms are open so you can do so.

And as usual to add an incentive to participating in the Laterlife Challenge there will be some great prizes, although we haven't finalised these yet. You just have to tell us about what you, or people you know, are doing in retirement.

Are you having the time of your life and making the most of your life in retirement?

  • having a great deal of fun

  • gaining personal benefit

  • defying traditional age stereotypes

  • utilising a lifetime's knowledge, capabilities and experience

  • doing something for others

With the 50s and 60s generation now retired or coming up to retirement it's time to unleash some of that spirit of adventure, vigour and opportunity we had back in the 50s and 60s and bring it into our plans for today and tomorrow! The Laterlife Challenge aims to encourage that spirit!

Take the
Laterlife Challenge and
have the Time of Your Life in Retirement!

Why should you take the  Challenge?

There is something for everyone in the Laterlife Challenge

  • whether you think you’ve got retirement cracked or know someone who has

  • whether you feel there is something still missing

  • whether you are concerned about what retirement is going to be like

  • or whether you can't wait

by taking the  Laterlife Challenge, you will improve your own retirement and potentially make a contribution to the lives of others too.
But above all it is enjoyable to do.

You can start by telling us about people you know (including yourself) and examples of what they or you are doing in retirement. Whatever it is, we want to know.

We will share these examples (anonymously if you wish) to provide ideas and encourage us all. You can win a great prize just by doing this. However, if we think it is potentially a role-model example we will invite you or the person you mention to go forward as a nominee for the Challenge Awards. There will be some fantastic prizes as usual for local and national winners.

So what do we want to know about?

Any aspect of making the most of retirement is the simple answer!

However, to help we've identified 5 areas of activity listed below which give you the opportunity to make the most of your time, imagination and experience in retirement.   Click on the area and more details of what we have in mind will open in a new window, just close the window to return here.

Click on the title of the area above for more information.

 

When does the Laterlife Challenge Run?

The Challenge runs for much of 2010. Closing date for 2010 is yet to be finalised.

We want to hear about what you are doing as soon as possible.

The timescale also gives you the opportunity to be inspired and participate by doing something new this year to make the most of your retirement.
