Ageways 72 celebrates the achievements of the HelpAge International network on its 25th anniversary. It shows how much older people's assocations can achieve for themselves and their communities.

Our annual review 2010 provides a snapshot of our work with partners to enable 1.5 million older people to lead more dignified, active, healthy and secure lives. It includes a wallchart on global ageing.

Our wallchart shows that an ageing world is a world of opportunity. When you give an older person a secure income and basic healthcare, they spread the benefits to every generation.
