At our 'Celebrate Ageing. Challenge Ageism' event, older people will work with artist/photographer Sharon Bailey to create images of how they see themselves and how they think others see them.

We will have fun and enjoy lots of conversations about our experiences of ageing and what we can do to address ageism in our lives.
