A Kensington charity has won a national award for their continuing contribution to older learning. Open Age, a Council supported organisation providing physical, creative and mentally stimulating activities for older residents, won the National Institute of Adult and Community Learning’s (NIACE) Fred Moore Institutional Award, on 16 November. The award, presented in Kensington Central Library, recognised the charity’s pioneering work, commitment to partnership working and its involvement of older people at all levels within the organisation. Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care, Cllr Fiona Buxton, said: “This award is a tribute to hard work that Open Age does for the older residents of the borough. “As you grow older the services you rely upon become essential to your well-being and happiness. Open Age goes the extra mile in supporting those in need and I would like to thank them for their continued dedication to the elderly and success in making learning fun.” Activities the charity provides range from yoga, chair exercise and walking groups to creative and performing arts sessions and weekly groups with speakers. A weekly outings group visits attractions in and around London. The (NIACE) award was created in memory of Fred Moore who was the oldest learner in the country aged 104.
