When you think about it, ageism sounds absurd. Our new nationwide advertising campaign is now live until May. The ads point out the absurdity of ageism through the eyes of a child, and whilst first appearing light-hearted, they highlight how harmful ageism is for us all. See agewithoutlimits.org

From wearing age badges to having conversations over coffees, and everything else - every action you took matters. Yesterday was all about collective action and you really made that happen. It's clearer than ever that together, we can create a future free from #ageism.

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.
Being treated negatively because of your age isnt part of ageing. It's ageism. Everyone deserves to age without limits. Let's make it a reality. Ageism: Notice it - Challenge it - Change it.

Fantastic to see Rosemary, fitness trainer, marathon runner and one of our storytellers, discussing how keeping physically active, whatever your level and if you can, is key to independence later in life on the BBC’s Dr Xand's Con or Cure. 👏 Watch on iPlayer: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Yet, we are all ageing, all the time. There are challenges that come with age, but also new interests, fresh knowledge, unexpected careers, meaningful friendships, the deepening lifelong hobbies, and so much more.

Age Without Limits @agewithoutlimits.bsky.social · 09/05/2025
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. metro.co.uk/2025/05/03/i...

@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

It doesn't have to be this way. We can all do something to challenge ageism, and #AgeWithoutLimitsDay on Wednesday 11 June is a great moment to get colleagues and team members together to celebrate all ages at work.

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.

No treachery here, though. Instead, Diane joined #AgeWithoutLimits campaign supporters Jenny, Penny, and Bill at our rage room experience to smash stuff - painted with ageist phrases and stats - to show we’re so over being treated negatively because of our age.

Tired of ageism limiting us as we get older? Wish you could smash ageist stereotypes? Us too! So we asked special guest and star of BBC’s The Traitors @dianeakamum to help us shatter ageist stereotypes and a few plates along the way 💥

Get involved this week and have a conversation with someone of a different age about #ageism, because when more of us are aware of it, the less people will experience being treated negatively because of their age. Find tips on talking about ageism here: www.agewithoutlimits.org/resources/co...

We know these assumptions because of our age have an especially damaging impact on those of us who are older now, but they also negatively affect the way we think about ageing as we grow up - from as early as 3 years old. Ageism is a prejudice against our future selves at any age.

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. #GIW25

“I want to feel that I’m a person, and not stereotyped as an ‘old’ person who is capable of not much”. Colleen, a long-term supporter of #AgeWithoutLimits was a natural when she came along to be photographed as part of our new advertising campaign, and giving her thoughts on getting older.

But while we might not always notice it, as we get older many of us are likely to experience the negative effects of ageism. It could be that you struggle to get a job over 50, or that you don’t go to that concert because you’ve been made to feel ‘too old’.

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.

One in three people aged over 50 believe they have been turned down for a job because of their age. Getting older can have its challenges. Being treated negatively because of your age should never be one of them. #AgePositive #Inclusivity #Recruitment #Olderworker #Ageism #Ageing

“When you look at the UK labour market, if you fall out of work & you're older, it's very hard for you to get back" says Kim. “And that is not just about your capability & what you do, it's also about the prejudice that's held in the labour market about what you can do & what you can contribute."

“I often find that people treat me very differently when I tell them how old I am, it can be very patronising”, John told us. “Since turning 70 I feel as though age is merely a number – I still feel the same as I did when I was 48! Unfortunately, this is not how other people feel."

Others assuming that you are less capable, that your opinions are less relevant, that you are too old to be interested in certain things. These are some of the ordinary and everyday assumptions that people can make of others simply because they are older.
