An introduction to the Think Again Fund

In 2007 Stannah decided to launch an in-depth study into the way the over-50's feel about their lifetime achievements and their attitude to life at this stage. The results were quite revealing and proved to Stannah that they had an opportunity to make a difference.

The key findings of the research showed that a staggering 62% of older people living in Britain regretted not having pursued their dreams in their younger years with only 10% of women and 16% of men claiming they were actively pursuing their goals.

In response to the survey, Stannah Stairlifts launched the 'Think Again' Fund - a pot of money put aside by Stannah to give to one applicant every month for them to put towards achieving their lifelong dream.

In addition to the Fund creating opportunities for those who apply, it is hoped that it will go some way to changing the perceptions that many have of the older generation. Stannah hopes that the fund will allow the younger generations to better understand that being older does not mean that you stop wanting to live a fulfilled life or continuing to achieve goals such as sky diving or learning a musical instrument.
