🎉 It's Age Without Limits Day! 🎉

Today is all about questioning common assumptions about age and ageing, because when we question ageism, we challenge it. And the more we challenge it, the more we start to change it.

If you're looking for last minute ways to get involved, you could:
- Share one of our posts and add your own thoughts about what questioning ageism means to you, or choose an ageist stereotype (like 'can't teach an old dog new tricks') and share why you want to challenge it. ✍️
- Talk to your friends, family and neighbours about ageing and ageism! Use our handy conversation starters on our website for some prompts and questions like, 'what do we mean when we say ‘act your age‘?' and 'Why do we say ‘you look good for your age‘? Why not just ‘you look good’?' 💬

If you're hosting an event today or this week, we can't wait to see what you get up to! Make sure to tag us using and , and thank you so much for getting involved.

Together, we can create a future free from ageism.
