Embracing Ageing
A celebration of the fabulousness of older LGBTQ+ people
Wednesday 11th June, 11am - 1pm, Birmingham LGBT Centre
What does it mean to LGBTQ+ people’s body image to get older? Do we worry about being “too old for the scene”?
How do we age comfortably in our skin, retain our identities and fight ageist stereotypes across all age groups?
Embracing Ageing means recognising and valuing the diverse experiences of growing older, by sharing stories and engaging in conversations that highlight the many different ways we age.
Embracing Ageing is an inter-generational social discussion event for LGBTQ+ people aged 18+. Dress to express – in comfort! Refreshments available.

We would like to invite you to a Coffee Morning to Celebrate Age Without Limits Day taking place at Storyhouse in The Kitchen on Wednesday 11 June with the theme: Celebrate Ageing. Challenge Ageism
Arrival from 9.30am for coffee and cake
10am – 11am
Introduction from Val Pasley – a chester resident and volunteer for the Age Without Limits campaign
Performance from Joy France – Joy is an all round creative – a multiple slam-winning poet, stand-up comedian, and writer who travels around delivering talks, running workshops and performing at a variety of festivals and unusual venues.
Launch of Storyhouse Elders Festival taking place 13 – 17 October
Why are we holding this event?
Ageing is living: we are all ageing, all the time. Reclaiming pride in the natural, inevitable process of ageing is a powerful and direct challenge to the ageist narratives we grow up with. When we celebrate our age, we are taking a stand against the assumptions and stereotypes that hold us back, and we are taking a stand against ageism.
