This year, Age Concern Week is from September 25 to October 2 and its theme is ageism.

As part of its contribution to the week, Age Concern East Sussex is collecting examples of ageism in the fields of employment (both paid and voluntary), education and consumer services and products.

The information collected will be used to change practice by lobbying MPs, local authorities and service providers throughout East Sussex.

Readers can submit examples to me at the address below or email advocacy@ageconcern-eastsussex.org.uk.

Any information provided will be kept confidential.
