Age

Age is a fundamental and universal aspect of our identity.Unfortunately, age discrimination is still present amongst all age groups in Britain, ranging from stereotypes of elderly people as sick and senile to youngsters as troublesome and irresponsible. Our articles and content are aimed at breaking down these stereotypes.

We firmly believe that to eradicate age discrimination in the UK, whether in the workplace or the media, we should be celebrating the contribution of different age groups to our culture and society.On this page, you can find material covering a diverse selection of topics, from the attitudes of young people in politics to sexuality for elders.Enjoy!

We are seeking volunteers of all types to work with us. You can write, create a film or story, suggest ideas for new work and web content, agree to an interview or fundraise for us. You can help us  by simply sharing the  resources below to like minded friends and family by email or social media. Join us and help us create a truly GREAT BRITISH COMMUNITY.
