Alison Gildea - Grey Matters Active Ageing
Alison Gildea is the Founder and Manager of Grey Matters Active Ageing where she is redefining what it means to grow older. Her work tackles loneliness and isolation for people aged 60 plus by creating opportunities that challenge outdated stereotypes and unlock confidence connection and joy. As the charity’s sole employee she leads every aspect from funding and programme design and delivery to volunteer coordination and member support. Her approach goes beyond activities by shifting mindsets and helping older people rediscover purpose and possibility while empowering them to live boldly with confidence, independence and a renewed sense of belonging.
