Let’s challenge stereotypes - including the ones we’ve learned to believe about ourselves! 💚

Internalised ageism can affect the way we perceive ourselves, our self-esteem, and what we think we are capable or worthy of.

It can lead us to limit or underestimate ourselves; to tell ourselves that we are 'too old' to learn something new, to wear particular clothes or visit a certain place, or to socialise at work.

But the first step to challenging ageism is to notice it.

So, the next time we find ourselves thinking if something is 'appropriate at our age'...we can also ask ourselves: who is deciding these 'rules'!?

Ageism. Notice it. Challenge it. Change it.

Note - this is our own definition of internalised ageism, but we'd love to hear what you think too!

Another great example of how it’s never too late to try something new.

Theo of Golden is the debut novel by Allen Levi, an ex-lawyer, judge and musician from Alabama who, just shy of 70, decided to take try writing fiction for the first time.

What started as a self-published novel in 2023 has since become a global phenomenon, selling more than a million copies!

Being 50, 60 or 70 doesn’t mean your working life has to be winding down.

It's time employers stopped seeing age as a cost, and started seeing experience as an asset!

We're delighted to welcome Debra Drake as a PRIME Cymru Ambassador!💚

After appearing on BBC's The Great British Sewing Bee, Debra decided it was time to leave her corporate career behind and turn her passion for sewing into a business, launching Debra Sewing with Style.

As she took those first steps into self-employment, Debra received mentoring from PRIME Cymru Volunteer Mentor Nick Bradley. His guidance and encouragement gave her the confidence to grow her business.

In this video, Debra shares just how invaluable that support was. She hopes her story will inspire more people aged 50+ to not be afraid to take a different path in their career.
