Current demographic trends indicate that we will live in an increasingly aging society, with all its conditions including changes taking place in daily life. Contemporary civilization promotes the cult of youth, vitality and physical strength. Numerous manifestations of ageism are an expression of fear, fears of the consequences of the natural process of aging and old age. Elder people experience not only health problems, but more and more often loneliness, marginalization, violence, neglect and abuse, both from the closest family and aid institutions. The ongoing demographic changes require special attention to the problem of violence against elder people. The prevention of violence against elder people is particularly important in the event of increasing population aging. The purpose of the article is to present forms of violence towards seniors, a determination of the scale of this phenomenon, motives and methods of counteracting this negative behaviour in the light of the literature on the subject. It is necessary to undertake a wide range of activities to change the image of elder people and the phenomenon of old age and also draw attention to the problem of violence against elder people in the public forum.

The Church has been seeking spiritual and material help for the poor, the lost and the elderly from the very beginning of its existence. It has been expressed, on the one hand, in living one's faith by taking up religious practices, and on the other hand, it has been a concern for various social groups, including seniors, for whom social engagement opportunities were organized. Institutional external forms such as Lazarets have also been built. The article is a preliminary analysis of this topic, as we are still struggling with the virus pandemic. Nevertheless, various actions have been taken by the Church based on Catholic social teaching, and these are set out in this article.

Podejmowanie aktywności w wieku senioralnym jest istotne w utrzymaniu sprawności fizycznej i psychicznej, a także w podtrzymywaniu samodzielności osoby starszej. Aktywność wpływa na ogólny dobrostan seniora, „jest lekiem” na samotność, nudę czy depresję, a w znaczeniu szerszym przyczynia się do zmniejszenia skutków wykluczenia społecznego osób starszych w społeczeństwie. Aktywność w życiu seniora może również na dalszy plan odsunąć sędziwą starość, może nie tylko dodać seniorom „lat do życia”, ale przede wszystkim „życia do lat”. Celem prezentowanego artykułu jest przedstawienie założeń programu Senior+, który umożliwia rozwój i wzmocnienie aktywności u osób starszych, na przykładzie działalności Klubu Senior+ w Chorzowie.
