Supporting 'Age Without Limits'

Castle View Retirement Living Proudly Supports ‘Age Without Limits’, the Centre for Ageing Better’s campaign to challenge ageism for the benefit of all of us as we grow older.   

At Castle View Retirement Living, we are dedicated to fostering an environment where age is celebrated, and limitations are challenged.

We are thrilled to support the ‘Age Without Limits’ campaign, an initiative by the Centre for Ageing Better aimed at transforming societal perceptions of ageing and combating ageism.

 

Understanding the ‘Age Without Limits’ Campaign

Ageism is a pervasive issue, often unnoticed, yet deeply ingrained in various facets of society—from media portrayals to workplace dynamics. The ‘Age Without Limits’ campaign seeks to address these prejudices by:

  • Raising Awareness: Highlighting the subtle and overt manifestations of ageism in daily life.
  • Challenging Stereotypes: Promoting diverse and positive representations of older adults.
  • Encouraging Action: Inspiring individuals and organisations to actively oppose ageist attitudes and practices.

 

By supporting this campaign, we align with a movement that envisions a society where everyone can age with dignity, free from limiting stereotypes.

 
Our Commitment at Castle View

In partnership with the ‘Age Without Limits’ campaign, Castle View Retirement Living pledges to:

  • Promote Inclusivity: Ensure our community activities and programs reflect the diverse interests and capabilities of our homeowners, challenging traditional age-related expectations.
  • Facilitate Open Dialogues: Create spaces for discussions about ageism, encouraging homeowners and staff to share experiences and insights to foster mutual understanding.
  • Support Age Without Limits Day: Actively participate in the annual Age Without Limits Day on June 11, 2025, celebrating the contributions of older adults and advocating against ageism.
 
Join Us in This Endeavor

We invite our homeowners, their families, and the broader community to join us in supporting the ‘Age Without Limits’ campaign.

Together, we can create a society that values and respects individuals of all ages, ensuring that ageing is seen as a journey of continued growth, opportunity, and joy.

Why We Need ‘Age Without Limits’

Ageism is one of the most widespread, yet least recognised forms of discrimination in our society. It’s so ingrained in everyday life that many people—especially older adults—accept it as normal. From casual remarks in conversation to stereotypes reinforced in the media, workplace biases, and even jokes shared in cafes and online, ageism is all around us.

While it’s often brushed off as harmless, research shows that these attitudes have real and damaging consequences.

Ageist beliefs influence:

  • The way we perceive older people
  • The language we use about and towards them
  • How they are treated in workplaces and communities

 

What’s more, these ideas don’t just affect how others see older people—they can shape how older adults see themselves. When negative stereotypes about ageing are repeated enough, they can become self-fulfilling. Many people begin to doubt their own abilities, avoid social situations, reduce physical activity, or ignore health concerns—all because they’ve internalised the message that getting older means being less capable or less valuable.

 

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Yes, ageing comes with challenges, but being treated differently or unfairly because of your age should never be one of them. That’s why campaigns like Age Without Limits are essential—to change perceptions, challenge outdated attitudes, and create a world where getting older is seen as a time of opportunity, growth, and continued contribution.
