Ageism is widespread in society and can be found everywhere from our workplaces and health systems to the stereotypes we see on TV, advertising and in the media.

To change this conversation we need to stop reinforcing these beliefs – and tell a new story. Small changes to the ways that we speak and write about aging and older age, if applied consistently, could have a big impact.

Embrace realistic depictions of aging. People don’t have to ‘look young for their age’ or run marathons to enjoy later life. Keep images positive but realistic. Avoid unrepresentative images such as older people skydiving.

If you’re aged 60 and over, value your independence but want greater security, come and have a look at the superb properties we have to offer

In neighbourhoods across New Zealand, kids like Aiden are waiting for help.

That’s not fair, when a child’s dreams can be so simple. Aiden just dreams of joining the big kids at school, with the proper uniform. With living costs skyrocketing, hardworking parents are finding it more difficult to provide their children with essentials like bedding, school uniforms or shoes. These children are also likely to miss out on important opportunities such as camp or swimming lessons.
