Help the Aged campaigns' photostream

Help the Aged campaigns with the public on issues from ageism to pensioner poverty, and fights for the rights of older people in the UK and overseas.

This November we're touring the country to call on the public to help us end ageism, using our Age Cage. Check out our tour photostream here and see who is supporting us.

The Age Cage represents the discrimination that older people face in society in Great Britain today. We're asking people to join our visual petition by having their photo taken in the cage, to show that ageism can affect all of us and must be outlawed without delay. You can sign our online petition at: petitions.number10.gov.uk/agecage/

The government has promised to make ageism illegal - but hasn't said how or when. For us, older people can't wait. We want it to provide us with details on how and when it will do this as a matter of urgency.
