If you are over 60 and going through a divorce, would you consider helping
a group of students who have contacted us?
Below are details of
what they are trying to do ... If you think you can help then please get in
touch with me, hadenoughnow, via PM asap.
Thank you.
We are producing three magazines as part of a module in our
postgraduate course - the print versions will not be published and are just
for the eyes of our tutor. We will, however, have a website up and running
in the next week, but the divorce case studies will not appear on there -
just the facts and figures of national stats. Our blog is at
www.renewmagazine.wordpress.com if you're interested.
Our magazine is an active, forward-thinking magazine aimed at
retired people and is a more modern, edgier Saga.
For our third
and final issue, we would like to focus on the rise of divorce in the over
60s - apparently in 2006 there were 8000 over 60s divorces, and in 2009,
this grew to 14000. The feature will focus on this figures and question
what the reasons are for the rise. I would then like to have first person
accounts from two people - ideally a man and a woman, who have experienced
a divorce in their 60s. I would need to know their names at the request of
my tutor but as I mentioned, this magazine will NOT be published and is for
the eyes of our tutor only.
