DJ Mamy Rock supports Make It AgelessMake it Ageless

Young and old stand together

HelpAge's new Make it Ageless campaign is urging the European Union to make aid age-friendly.

We met DJ Mamy Rock, a 72-year-old from Bristol, at the EU Open Day in Brussels on 12 May, who expressed her support for the campaign.

As part of the campaign, young Europeans also spent a week finding out what it's like to be old. Read their blogs here.

The right to be heard is timeless. Make it Ageless.

Poverty does not discriminate by age. Neither should policy. Join our Make it Ageless virtual march urging the European Union to actively include older people in their development policies and programmes.
