Learn about the Age Positive Image library.

A boy with dark skin tone and short black hair holding a ball under his arm walks beside an older man with dark skin tone and short grey beard wearing a black fitted wrap around his hair and a Hawaiian shirt.

I recently heard about the Age Positive Image library; the first free library showing positive and realistic images of older people.

This struck me as being a great example of kindness because representation is so powerful and it goes hand in hand with a campaign from the Centre for Ageing Better to challenge ageism for the benefit of all of us as we grow older.

Their image library shows a variety of images of people with a focus on accuracy and avoid the common negative tropes we often see around age.

Campaigns like this are so important and also inspire kindness in daily life – how can you show kindness to an older person today?
