Greys Matter showcase their talents during a talent show organised by Heart Ever Young
While it is easy to say age is merely a number and laud celebrities who wear their wrinkles and silver strands with grace, closer to home, many of their peers remain unseen and unheard.Hoping to do their bit for septuagenarians, an informal group who called themselves Hearts Ever Young (HEY) based out of Cooke Town, sprung into action. A brainchild of Regina Thomas, HEY came into being four years ago, when like minded people began meeting regularly. “Most of us were in our late 50s or early 60s and we would catch up once a month. We’d bond over games or music and round off our evening with dinner,” says Regina.Though they initially began as a way to build connections among neighbours, within a year, the 17 members who were a part of HEY decided to look beyond themselves and do something more for their community. “Reaching out to the elderly in the neighbourhood was something we all agreed on,” says Meera Prasad, a member of HEY, adding their focus group were those who were 75 years and above, especially those who were lonely or home bound.
