🌿 Seniors Month: Your Voice Still Matters

Growing older does not make your voice, your needs or your contribution any less important.

During October, GrysKrag is highlighting an important question: Does South Africa truly listen to older people when decisions affect their lives?

At Thrivve, we believe that a meaningful life after 50 also means being heard, being treated with dignity and having a say in decisions that affect you.

Perhaps you struggle to access services. Perhaps you have been waiting a long time for feedback on an important matter. Or perhaps you have had a positive experience that shows what good support can look like.

During Seniors Month, GrysKrag wants to hear from older people and their families. Your experience can help bring practical challenges and possible improvements to light.

Let’s make space this month to listen to one another — and recognise the experience, knowledge and contributions of older people.

Stay involved. Keep growing. Stay you. 🌿

🌿 Seniorsmaand: Jou stem maak steeds saak

Om ouer te word, beteken nie dat jou stem, jou behoeftes of jou bydrae minder belangrik word nie.

Gedurende Oktober vestig GrysKrag die aandag op ’n belangrike vraag: Luister Suid-Afrika werklik na ouer persone wanneer besluite hulle lewens raak?

By Thrivve glo ons dat ’n betekenisvolle lewe ná 50 ook beteken dat jy gehoor word, met waardigheid behandel word en kan deelneem aan besluite wat jou raak.

Dalk sukkel jy om toegang tot dienste te kry. Dalk wag jy lank op terugvoer oor ’n belangrike saak. Of dalk het jy ’n goeie ervaring wat wys hoe ondersteuning behoort te werk.

GrysKrag wil gedurende Seniorsmaand van ouer persone en hulle families hoor. Jou ervaring kan help om praktiese probleme en moontlike verbeterings onder die aandag te bring.

Kontak Ina Wilken, voorsitter van GrysKrag:

📞 083 268 9071

Kom ons maak hierdie maand ruimte om na mekaar te luister — en ouer persone se ervaring, kennis en bydrae raak te sien.

💬 Wat is die één verandering wat volgens jou die lewe van ouer Suid-Afrikaners beter sal maak? Deel gerus jou gedagtes hieronder, sonder persoonlike of sensitiewe besonderhede.

Bly betrokke. Bly groei. Bly jy. 🌿
