'Age Without Limits' Campaign
We are supporting the national 'Age Without Limits' Campaign
The campaign is being led by the Centre for Ageing Better and includes an annual Age Without Limits Action Day, the first of these is on the 20th March 2024.
"Ageism is the prejudice that's hidden in plain sight. It's embedded in our society and even accepted as normal by those of us who are older. We see and hear casual ageism every day in the media, on TV, at work, in pubs, on social media, in family conversations.
It doesn't have to be this way. Thinking negatively about ageing and older people has been accepted and ignored for too long.
The Age Without Limits campaign aims to change the way we all think about ageing and support a growing movement of people and organisations working to make society more age-inclusive." (Centre for Ageing Better)
