International Day of Older Persons HistoryInternational Day of Older Persons is dedicated to recognising the contributions of elderly individuals and addressing the issues they face. This day aims to encourage societies to be more age-inclusive and promote the rights, dignity, and welfare of older persons. By engaging governments, policymakers, and the public on this topic, International Day of Older Persons seeks to tackle ageism and support an aging population, ensuring that everyone can live with dignity, respect, and independence. Established by the United Nations in 1990, International Day of Older Persons has a global focus, and the United Kingdom plays a significant role in recognising its importance. With an aging population, the UK faces various challenges, such as providing adequate healthcare, housing, and support services for older adults. Efforts are underway to promote intergenerational solidarity, opportunities for lifelong learning, and the valuable contributions of older individuals to their communities. This day also sheds light on addressing age discrimination and investing in policies and services that enhance the well-being of older people. Various events and initiatives are organised throughout the United Kingdom to mark International Day of Older Persons. It is observed by organisations, community groups and individuals who host awareness-raising events, workshops, seminars and social gatherings to celebrate the lives and achievements of older people. Additionally, local governments and agencies develop and implement various programmes and policies aimed at supporting the elderly population. International Day of Older Persons takes place annually on 1st October, providing an opportunity for the UK to join the rest of the world in honouring and supporting its older citizens.
