Our impact

Our three-year campaign aims to challenge ageism for the benefit of us all as we grow older.

As the first programme of its kind in England, delivered by the Centre for Ageing Better (a What Works Centre), we have a robust evaluation strategy to measure impact. We want to share learning and support future initiatives to challenge ageism.
