It’s the Age Without Limits Action Day from @agewithoutlimit
There are many campaign resources but we particularly like the 'Challenging ageism through everyday conversations' advice.
Ageism is ingrained in society and the campaign advocates for having conversations to question why ageing or older people are talked about in a certain way.
Take a look – there are phrases we can all fall into the habit of using and there are also hints as to how you can respond if someone refers to you in an ageist manner.

Last year, I was offered a job even after disclosing a stage IV cancer diagnosis. Highlighting the very best of workplace acceptance and culture.
But today, my husband unexpectedly had a job offer rescinded after letting the company know he may need 2 days off, a month after starting to help me recover from a possible minor surgery.
We’re both software engineers and both companies are in the healthcare space. The response he received highlights the discrimination that not only many patients face but also their caregivers.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disheartened and frustrated by their response. When faced with the choice, be company A not company B.
We’ve faced bigger hurdles and come out on top, so on we go.
In other news, if anyone is looking to hire a talented software engineer w/experience in healthcare. I know a guy 😉
Here’s a photo of us on my birthday this year. We celebrated with a hackathon building tools/apps for cancer patients. Yes, that was my actual birthday request. Things get real nerdy around here.

If you do your tax self-assessment return on a paper form beware - HMRC may not send you one this year unless you ask. It wants to save money - but at whose expense? With Natalie Turner from @Ageing_Better on @Moneybox noon @BBCRadio4

Further to this, my thoughts on the overall package of Budget measures announced today.
If this is a Budget that's meant to bring people back into the workplace, there's a gap where "engagement and support" should be.

Great NEW report from @AARPpolicy @susanpolicy @rchoula and team - Caregivers provide 36 BILLION HOURS of care worth an estimated $600 BILLION annually.
Let those numbers sink in….
Money can’t buy the kind of care that family caregivers devote to loved ones. But if it could, the amount is staggering, according to the latest report in AARP’s “Valuing the Invaluable” series. Read the report to learn about the high cost of 'free’ care. spr.ly/601530Rzh

I met Cornelius and submitted a Q to Full Council asking why all these toilets were out of order. Just heard @IslingtonBC will make a procurement decision 26 January 2023 to replace these broken loos.
👏👏 @ageuklondon - access to loos is so crucial for an age friendly city.
