1. Hi Laura just read the news article of your photography project. My dad is 83 years old and keeps an extraordinary level of fitness. He isn’t a pumped up body builder but has weight trained for fitness since his 20’s and continues to train 3 times a weeks. Lifting weight amounts that always seems to inspire surprise at the gym. Currently on lockdown he’s using a home weight set he’s had for years. Is this the sort of thing you’re looking for ?

2. Hello.
   I’m the Chairman of a group of 72 ladies in Lichfield, Staffordshire. I hear that you’re looking for ladies over 80 to photograph?
   Our average age is 72. Ranging from 60-95.
   Please give me a call?

3. Hi Laura
   My mum is an inspiration as at the age of 87 she plays bridge tournaments online during lockdown. She is a first generation immigrant from India who came on a ship in 1961 to the UK. She had lived through the partition of India and then emigrated to London and started life with her husband and she and her friends who similarly came to the UK and settled are a wonderful interesting progressive and fun loving lot of inspiring women. She has been interviewed by the BBC last year about partition and she continues to inspire me with her activities to occupy herself during lockdown. She recently joined the university of the 3rd age for advanced bridge online classes for example!

We have many remarkable residents over the age of 80 and do some weird and wonderful activities with them which are not “standard for their age” we’d love to welcome you once lockdown is over to photograph some of them and their fun. Kind Regards, Jenni Mack.
