As Age Without Limits Day comes to a close, we’re feeling inspired by the everyday difference people make in our communities. 💙

Across North Yorkshire, older people are giving their time, supporting others and helping their towns and villages thrive.

That’s what our Age Friendly Network is all about: bringing people together to keep that spirit growing 🌱

Would you like to be part of it?

We’re always looking for more local people to join our friendly team of Network Ambassadors—you don’t need to be an expert, just someone who cares about their community.

You’ve probably heard comments like these about older people…

➡️ “They’re not very tech-savvy.”
➡️ “That’s a bit much for them.”
➡️ “Let the younger ones do it.”

This Age Without Limits Day, let’s question them 💭

Because older people have so much to offer - experience, skills, and a big role in our communities 💙

Let’s challenge the stereotypes, and see the value - not the limits.
