Who We Are

Active Ageing Advocates (AAA) is Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine's first initiative to focus on preventive medicine and behavioural change established in 2021 — with the primary aim of guiding all older adults (50 and above) to translate their knowledge into sustainable healthy lifestyle habits.

As Singapore grapples with a rapidly ageing population, there has been a rise in the prevalence of chronic illnesses and social isolation among the elderly community. AAA hopes to encourage the cultivation of long-term habits which allow seniors to take greater ownership of their health, and age gracefully in their silver years.

What we do 🤔

• Free Comprehensive Health Screenings: Our screenings include functional assessments and validated questionnaires that evaluate various health aspects. This thorough approach ensures we provide a well-rounded understanding of each participant’s health status.
• Free Health Fair: Education booths like Active Aging Centres and Ascend Life serve to educate the elderly on key resources available for them to stay healthy and live actively in their golden years.
• HEAL Workshops: After the screenings, participants are encouraged to join our HEAL workshops. These workshops cover a range of topics, from diet and nutrition to socio-cognitive wellness. They are designed to make the concept of healthy living fun while empowering participants with the knowledge and tools they need to maintain healthy lifestyles.

Engaging Outings:

We organise outings to places of interest to foster intra- and inter-generational bonding. These outings not only serve as enjoyable excursions but also strengthen community ties and encourage social interaction between the elderly and our young volunteers!

Vision 📢

Our vision is to be at the forefront of providing sustainable, long-term health guidance for older adults in Singapore whilst enriching the lives of the seniors by enabling them to age actively in their golden years.
