Get involved
If you want to help change the way people think about ageing, there are several ways you can get involved:
1. Spread the word
One easy way to help is to share the campaign in your communities and across your own networks.
You can do this by:
- Following us on social media and share our posts on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.
- Signing up to receive monthly campaign news – including ideas to challenge ageism, exclusive campaign updates, debate around ageism in the news, social media influencers changing the game, and real-life stories about ageism or challenging stereotypes.
- Using and sharing our resources – we have a range of resources including a guide to challenging ageism in everyday conversations and our Are You Ageist? quiz.
- Take action in your community or workplace.
2. Share your experiences of ageism
We want to give people a platform to share their experiences and help others understand what ageism looks and feels like. We might use these in a number of ways – on our website, in the media, and in the evidence we share with others to improve public policy around ageing.
If you think you want to share your story with us, we’ll arrange a quick call to help you make an informed decision about taking part.
3. Host an event
The Age Without Limits campaign is calling on the whole country to change the way we think about ageing. Hosting an event is a brilliant way to spread awareness of ageism and encourage others in your community to help challenge negative ideas about ageing.

Talk about ageism
Having conversations is a powerful first step to change negative stereotypes or to question the way ageing or older people are talked about.
