New skills for over-50s

A new toolkit aims to help over-50s become social entrepreneurs.

The guide to social start-ups is aimed at older people who want to use their skills in creative ways, especially if they are nearing retirement.

The launch of the new Rooted toolkit featured former Herald Society Award winner Mamie Donald, whose initiative Third Age Computer Fun won our best older people's project award in 2011.
