P5A had a lovely day planting flowers with their friends in Glenowen Court Care Home. This was their 5th visit this year as part of an Intergenerational Partnership project. They loved getting their hands dirty & working with their new friends.

Delighted to attend the @WHO webinar today launching their #Ageism Scale. #GIW25 @UNDecadeAgeing 🌍
#Intergenerational practice is recognised as one of the key strategies to challenge ageism & we can't wait to explore this tool when evaluating! ✅@publichealthni @GenerationsWT

[UN Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021-2030) @UNDecadeAgeing]

📢 Now Available: The WHO Ageism Scale – available in 10 languages, and more to come.

Ageism is everywhere, widespread and harmful. To know if we’re making progress in creating #AWorld4AllAges, we need a reliable tool to measure ageism.

But we didn’t have that tool… Until now.
