Alive has celebrated fifteen years since they were founded, receiving a High Sheriff Award for their contributions to the lives of older people in Bristol. 

CEO of Alive, Isobel Jones, says: 

“It was a privilege to share our work and those we have reached over the years. To pay tribute to our founder, Tim, and everyone along the way for their dedication and efforts over the years. It has just been incredible and very emotional!” 

The celebrations include the opening of Alive’s retrospective exhibition entitled ‘Celebrating 15 Years of Alive’. The exhibition is open until mid-November at Create Centre, Bristol and entry is free.
