Getting older can have its challenges. Being treated negatively because of your age should never be one of them.
We know that once we're over 50 this experience is common. Every area of our life is affected - work, health, friendships and more.
But it doesn't have to be this way.

Thank you so much for making Age Without Limits Day such a big, vibrant and incredible celebration yesterday! 👏

Today, we’re supporting @agewithoutlimits.bsky.social #AgeWithoutLimitsDay – a day to join forces to celebrate ageing and challenge ageism where we experience or see it.
Being treated differently because of our age is never acceptable.
Notice it ¦ Challenge It ¦ Change it.

When we talk about celebrating ageing, what do we mean? And what has that got to do with challenging ageism?
From jokes on birthday cards to #ageist headlines in the media, we unfortunately live in a society where ageing is often seen as something to commiserate - not something to celebrate.

“Being told someone over 50 isn’t ‘the right fit’ is a familiar line,” writes Sally Ingram in @metro.co.uk
Huge thanks to Sally and Ralph for sharing their experiences about ageism in recruitment & the workplace so powerfully.

'I was flying high in the corporate world - then I turned fifty'
Patronised, ignored and dismissed. How older workers are being thrown on the scrap heap.

@AgeUK’s new #ActNowAgeBetter campaign prompts us to think about how being more physically active in your 50s/60s can lead to a healthier, more independent later life.
This is a great challenge to society’s often negative perceptions around ageing and inevitable decline #PositiveAgeing

Did you know that research tells us that multi-generational teams are more productive and innovative?
Older workers bring incredible value to workplaces, yet one in three people aged over 50 believe they have been turned down for a job because of their age.

Tired of ageism limiting us as we get older? Wish you could smash ageist stereotypes?

While the media often pits generations against each other, Global Intergenerational Week (24 - 30 April) is a good time to remember that negative assumptions around age harm us all – and we can change this together by talking about ageism.

When did you last notice ageism?
From images used in the media to the phrases that we use without questioning them, we’re so surrounded by ageism that we’ve become used to it, and we don’t always notice it.

These are some of the ordinary and everyday assumptions that people can make of others simply because they are older.
