The British Association of Social Workers (BASW) supports ‘Age Without Limits Day’, taking place on 10th June 2026, by highlighting the power of questions in tackling ageism.

You can find additional resources and information about their approach on their wesbite: https://basw.co.uk/articles/basw-supports-age-without-limits-day-2026

Graham Price, Director at Shaping Our Lives and member of BASW’s Expert by Experience Forum, has written the following poems as part of this.

An age to celebrate

Ageing isn’t a disablement,

But Ageism is,

Adding prejudice to the moment,

Denying the wisdom age brings.

Experience is there to share,

If allowed to reverberate,

Enriching those who care,

For an age to hold and celebrate.

Poem, Ageism

To try something new,

It’ll be a blast,

Not confined to the few.

It’s the 3rd age,

I’m on about,

Unheeded, there’ll be rage,

Perhaps there’s need to shout,

Put to bed age.
