Ageism quietly narrows lives. Too many older people are excluded from creative, social and physical opportunities, affecting confidence, wellbeing and visibility. Without core funding, small organisations like ours - who challenge these narratives with fun, creativity and community - risk being muted. We refuse to let older people’s voices be pushed aside: “You continue to inspire me and make me feel excited to see what I can embrace as I age. If this is ageing, bring it on!”

Moving Memory brings older people together to move, create, design and take up space. Our mischievous, high-quality performance work builds confidence, connection and pride. Core funding keeps our tiny team going, sustains our programmes and fuels bold new public-realm projects that confront ageism and celebrate age. We will deepen our presence in local hubs and champion voices too often overlooked: “Made me feel GOOD about getting older!”
