A care home in East Kilbride has joined a nationwide campaign to save older hobbies from being forgotten.
A poll of 2000 adults carried out by Care UK, which operates Cathkin House on Glasgow Road, found reading a map, using a compass and even simple handwriting are high within the top 50 list of lost talents – and a majority of those surveyed blame modern technology.
In a bid to prevent hobbies and skills from being lost over time and give them a new lease of life, Cathkin House is encouraging locals to join a nationwide campaign to tap into thousands of older people’s expertise and knowledge – ‘Long Lost Hobbies’.
