Playlist for Life: Shagufta Mehar: In August a presentation about the importance of music to people with dementia and learnt about a project called Playlist for Life. The guest speaker highlighted that 2 decades of research shows that music is good for the brain. It keeps the brain active and happy songs tend to raise the mood. Trip to Trossachs 24 August: This was ACES Summer Outing to Loch Lomond which involved travel by minibus, lunch on the shore of Loch Lomond and a cruise which was greatly enjoyed by all the 10 participants. On the way, a stop at Luss and a short walkabout set the tone and raised expectations of what was to come. On the cruise, the group enjoy their time together sharing food and laughing together and taking photos. The weather and the scenery around Loch Lomond were great. After the cruise a stop at Balloch shopping centre enabled members to share a shopping experience before returning to drop off point in Glasgow. It was a wonderfully memorable experience sponsored by Jambo Radio through George Tah. The trip was organized by Kay Solaja the Secretary of ACES. Annual Networking Lunch 14 Sept - Trip to V&A Dundee: Age Scotland sponsored a networking lunch and a trip to V&A in Dundee which was attended by 14 people from ACES. They travelled by coach from Glasgow, Edinburgh and Fife, which was a good opportunity for people to get to know each other better. At the Museum, the participants were given a guided tour and learnt about Dundee and about the history of design and the influences from other parts of the world. They were given an opportunity to visit a special Kimono exhibition which was on show at the time. This was followed by a delightful lunch at a local restaurant. The feedback highly commended the event, and many people expressed a wish for more outings in the future. The event was organised by Jaime Lee of Age Scotland and Mukami Mccrum the Co-chair of ACES. Awards: ACES was nominated for two awards this year. The Black Scottish Awards - Finalist Age Scotland Community Award category - highly commended Dementia Training by Julie Turner from Age Scotland on the 16th of November 2024: The training contained very important and useful information about definitions and symptoms of dementia; what people can do to reduce risk of dementia; and how to support those who are affected. The presenter was excellent and showed a great deal of patience and understanding during the Q&A session. She followed up the training by sending the participants links to useful information. The event was organised by Dr Harriette Campbell Co- chair of ACES. Black History Month was held on 2nd November 2024. It was an international and intergenerational event attended by people of all ages, from different countries including Kenya, Gambia, Ghana and Scotland. The event involved a highly entertaining and informative story-telling session, poetry and quiz. The presentations were well received, and attendees gave very positive feedback. It was supported by the Coalition for Racial Equality and Rights and Central Scotland Regional Equality Council. Collaboration with other organisations: Collaboration has proven to be a very effective tool for ACES. The Trip to V&A was the result of a collaborative relationship between ACES and AGE Scotland which has grown stronger during the last three years. It gave ACES members an opportunity to access free training on a wide range of topics relevant to the wellbeing of members which are offered by Age Scotland such as Dementia. Two members of ACES are members of Scottish Ethnic Minority Older People Forum of Age Scotland SEMOPF and one of them is the chair of the Forum. This gives ACES a voice in wide consultations and discussions about issues that affect older people Consultations: ACES has also been involved in various consultations in relations with elderly life here in Scotland, especially those which are commissioned by AGE Scotland. ACES continued to promote and sell the book, 'One Life-Cultures', which was written by some of the members. The sales from the book are steadily growing and add to the organisation's funds.
