Culture is important because it determines how your work is delivered — it directly affects business success as well as employee engagement. We recently ran our 'What is an 'Age-friendly Culture' and how do we know if we have one?' webinar, where we discussed how ageism might

Ageing Without Children (AWOC) is now in Dorset Council’s delivery strategy. Around 1 in 5 of adults in Dorset are AWOC - over 23,000 people. Older adults without family advocacy are more likely to rely on paid care, face longer hospital stays and earlier care Home entry. #AWOC

@Justacarehomeg1 Care homes should have gyms. And bars, and hairdressers and places to dance.

Our manifesto: to remove the stigma of ageing and to create communities for all ages. Older people need to feel loved, appreciated, respected and included. They also need the tools necessary to help them integrate as an integral part of communities.
