Founded by the late Robin Lloyd-Jones in 2017, Autumn Voices is an organisation based in Scotland that seeks to celebrate creativity in later life. We welcome everyone aged 60 and over, and aim to dispel many of the negative stereotypes associated with getting older. We focus instead on positive ageing and the tonic provided by creativity in later life.
Autumn Voices is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation, no. SC052154.
Our website features blogs, photographs, creative writing, art and video content, as well as details of our events and projects across Scotland.

“The approach was perfect – little things, little and often. The variety, level of stories and activities spot on – all presented beautifully.”
