Go4Gold 2025 Awards Ceremony

Go4Gold 2025 Awards Ceremony

We’re delighted to share the official video of the Go4Gold 2025 Awards Ceremony, launched on 1 October to mark the International Day of Older People. This year’s Go4Gold challenge was inspired by the Highland Games, with care homes and day centres across Perth & Kinross taking part in a range of fun, inclusive physical and wellbeing activities. From creative caber tosses to themed celebrations, the event was full of energy, laughter, and connection.

Go4Gold is a joint initiative from Perth & Kinross Health and Social Care Partnership and Scottish Care, first launched in 2012 to promote physical activity, wellbeing, and community spirit among older people. After a long pause since 2019, this year’s ceremony proudly features our first live events, with over 70 people participating in person and more than 400 individuals involved overall.

The video is now available to watch on YouTube, feel free to enjoy it anytime and share it with anyone who’d love to see the joy and creativity of our care communities in action.[vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gArDCjNNxzU”]
