Listen "SoWhoCaresAnyway E13 Making Mischief, Mobilising Change"
Episode Synopsis
Are you ready to make mischief?
What if growing older wasn’t about limitations, but about possibilities? What if care focused not on what you can’t do, but on everything you still can?
In this episode of SoWhoCaresAnyway, I welcome Angela Catley, a passionate disruptor in social care, who has spent her career challenging the status quo and sparking bold conversations. Angela, with Sian Lockwood, is now leading conversations on When I Get Old to push for more choice, dignity, and purpose as we age.
In this episode we uncover the massive gap between what people hope for in their future care and what they actually experience today. Angela shares insights from her work, including World Café discussions, revealing a real appetite for innovative care models, from co-housing and intergenerational support to creative local services, cruise ship living, and the dream of a Marigold Hotel-style retirement.
But at the heart of it all, Angela focuses upon one thing: we all need to feel included, supported to be ourselves and useful, no matter our age. She argues that care models must empower people to contribute, to stay connected, and continue doing what makes them feel alive.
Join us for a thought-provoking, inspiring, and slightly mischievous conversation that might just change the way you think about aging.
