Demand Just Equal Treatment

We fight for the rights of disadvantaged older people in the UK and overseas.

With your support, we influence decision-makers and campaign on age discrimination, elder abuse, pensioner poverty and other issues. We aim to prevent future deprivation in the lives of older people.

URGENT ACTION

In two weeks the Government will make its decision on whether to ban ageism. Please take action to keep the pressure on.

Worth Fighting For

Age discrimination is a real problem with real consequences. Read our new report of 10 examples of every day ageism.

National falls awareness campaign

Dangerous pavements are a major cause of falls in the UK.

Towards Common Ground

With a quarter of older people feeling their neighbourhood has changed for the worse in the last 10 years, it’s time to take action.

Right care Right deal

Find out more about the new coalition campaign to achieve the right solution for social care.

Watch our new film

We think ageism belongs in the dustbin of history. Watch our film to see if you agree, then take action and tell a friend if you do.

Our campaigner survey

We want to know what information you want about our campaigns and how you want to hear from us.

Learning for life

Make your voice heard as the Government opens a consultation into informal adult learning.

Other issues

2500 Post Offices are due to be closed under new government plans. It's vital that older people have their say.

How to campaign

We guide you through the process of planning your campaign, getting publicity and influencing decision-makers.
