1. Hi Laura. I’m an 82-year old retired professor of Chinese and my wife is an 80-y.o nursery teacher. Pre-lockdown (and we hope afterwards) I played badminton and table tennis weekly and she swam daily. I played piano duets weekly with a friend who is in his mid-80s. Since the beginning of lockdown the garden has benefitted from the extra attention, but we’re desperate to get back into our previous routines! Good luck with your project! Keith

2. Hey Laura. My widowed mother is 95, lives alone in her own house. She loves baking and looking after her amazing garden and keeping up with current affairs. She’s well-informed and always has plans and projects so she’s never bored. She’d be worth considering.

3. My Grandmother is a pretty incredible woman who lives independently at 97 years old. I’m sure she’d be up for photography.

4. Dear Laura
   I am sure you have been inundated but just thought my husband could be quite interesting to photograph. His name is Richard Farley. He is 84 years old. A former principal dancer with The Royal Ballet he retired from dancing in 1968 and then had a 2nd very successful career as a photographer.

5. I read about you in the Liverpool Echo, my mother is 95 and living alone in Northern Ireland, she has no help from caters and is living a very independent life. She has a marvellous memory and I feel she will be a great subject for you. She is a great character and spent 30yrs living in Liverpool before she returned home to her roots. People of all ages are drawn to her as she is a one off!
