Introduction

This year Compass is marking World Elder Abuse Awareness Day with an invitation to older people to share their story.

In our society we don’t hear from older people enough so if you are over 50, over 60, over 70, over 80, over 90 or even over 100, we want to hear a story from you about what it is like to be your age and alive at this time in history. What are your experiences – good and bad, your ambitions, your hopes and even your fears? What have you learned and what advice do you want to share?

Tell us a story so we can raise your voice!
