Changing Age Campaign Supporters
Individuals, celebrities, politicians and organisations across the UK are coming together and making a commitment to support Changing Age. They are helping change the negative perceptions that surround ageing and a growing ageing population.
I welcome the opportunity to support a campaign which positively addresses the perceptions of older age.
Dr Miriam Stoppard, OBE
I believe we need to rethink what old age is all about, and redress some of the gloom and doom. Old age can be a time of new opportunities, new friends and new ventures. There is much to look forward to. I should know: I'm there already!
Joan Bakewell, DBE
I'm delighted to be able to add my name to the growing list of support for the Newcastle Charter for Changing Age … Politicians of all hues must work together to ensure that older generations are given the support they need and the respect they deserve.
David Miliband, MP
We're delighted to lend our support to a campaign which embraces and celebrates the ageing process. Challenging commonly-held perceptions about getting older plays a vital role in the work we do, and this campaign is an important step in our fight to end age discrimination.
Michelle Mitchell, Charity Director of Age UK
