Our new podcast - Mind the Age Gap
As part of our London Against Ageism campaign we have launched a podcast Mind the Age Gap. Four older Londoners talk about their experiences of ageism while our Campaigns Manager discusses our research findings.
London Against Ageism
Read our press release about our newest campaign London Against Ageism. Thank you to all our supporters who took part in the survey and gave us the insight on whether they had experienced ageism or not. Over half of the people that responded (51%) had experienced ageism always, often or sometimes in their daily life. Based on this we have launched the campaign. Find our more on our campaign page.
Age UK London is a charity that campaigns on behalf of older Londoners.
Age UK London is part of the Age UK network but we are an independent charity relying on donations and funding to continue our important work. We are the only charity that campaigns on behalf of older Londoners. We campaign for specific change to improve the lives of older Londoners. We also work to ensure that their experiences, needs and contributions are heard and taken into account by decision makers.
