Beyond Age: Changing the Conversation About Ageing to mark World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

Unfair and negative views about older people can cause harm and affect their health and wellbeing. To recognise World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) on 15 June 2025, Wyndham community members are invited to help change the way we talk about ageing and celebrate the valuable role older people play in our community.

Join us at a participating Community Centre to raise awareness and share stories.

How to get involved:

Are you an older person with a story to share? 

Stop by and

• Bring a photo of your younger self (teens to 30s)
• Get your photo taken 
• Share a piece of advice you’d give to your younger self

Council Officers and Community Connectors will be there to talk about the experiences of older people, their contributions, and the importance of ageing well.

Photos and quotes celebrating our older community members will be displayed at each participating Community Centre. Everyone of all ages is welcome to stop by and learn more.
