The Kepler satellite has revolutionised the study of extrasolar planets and of shorter cadence time domain astronomy in general. Pan-STARRS1 provides a unique dataset to improve the characterisation of Kepler targets. We combine Pan-STARRS1 data with archival plate data to determine accurate proper motions for faint Kepler target stars. Along with distance estimates based on SED fittinh using accurate Pan-STARRS1 photometry and archival data we reliably select wide binary systems containing one or more Kepler targets. This will allow us to test stellar age-activity-rotation relations between binary components and forms part of a longer term project to study the effect of wide binarity on close-in planet occurrence.
