Older People

Age Without Limits, Centre for Ageing Better’s campaign to challenge ageism, is running their annual Age Without Limits Day on 11 June 2025. This is a day for us all to come together and take action to end ageism – as individuals, with friends and family, in our communities and in our workplaces.

The 2025 theme for the Age Without Limits Day is Celebrate Ageing. Challenge Ageism. There will be lots of opportunities to get involved and campaign packs to help communities mark the day, available from March 2025.

The Royal Literary Fund has worked with Communities First for several years, offering free workshops in writing skills, led by our professional writers. We also work with Recovery Colleges, the NHS, unions and the voluntary sector. 

GM Mature Minds Matter are looking for people who have lived experience of accessing, or supporting someone who has accessed, mental health support in mid to later life (50+), to join our growing network, to make a difference to mental health support across Greater Manchester!
