Your Later Life: 2020 Campaign

We recently worked with Your Later Life on the 2020 campaign. A printed publication was enclosed within every copy of The Telegraph newspaper and the content is available online at https://bit.ly/2Gdj3WS. The campaign featured exclusive content from key thought leaders and industry voices about celebrating the later years of your life, offering support and advice to those aged 55+.

Congratulations!

We’re celebrating! This was an International Men’s Day with a difference! We were nominated for the Men and Boys Coalition Special Crisis Award – and WE WON! It was a very accomplished field and we’re over the moon! Salute to Men’s Sheds across the UK continuing to give men hope during these crazy times!
