We are all ageing
No matter our age, the one thing we all have in common is that we are all ageing.
This Age Thing is a space to share the diverse experiences of ageing, explore what it means to age well, challenge too often negative stereotypes of later life, and reimagine how we can grow older with more choice, more agency and more joy.

Monthly poll: Myths of Ageing
What myths about growing older annoy, insult, or downright make you want to scream? Those ageist stereotypes and negative assumptions about later life that can make getting older downright terrifying? Working with u3a and Design Age institute at the Royal College of Art, we want to identify the myths and misconceptions of later life that we find most irritating, insulting and just plain bonkers, so we can demystify these stereotypes and shine a light on the research, stories and diverse experiences of ageing well.
