Age Rage

Depressed person

Inspired to save another life

成人快手 Hereford and Worcester launches a special week of programmes to help the over 45's find work...

A death could have been prevented

At 63, George Turner, unemployed and desperate, took a rope and hanged himself in the hallway of his Worcester home.

He was just one of the silent victims of ageism in the workplace - but the one whose personal tragedy moved the 成人快手 Hereford and Worcester team to focus on this issue.

The 成人快手 is trained not to take a particular stance on a story - but in this case, we felt so strongly, we couldn't just sit back and do nothing about a problem that's blighting the lives of thousands of people across Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

And so, 成人快手 Hereford and Worcester has launched a special campaign aimed at fighting age discrimination in the workplace.

Over the hill at 45+?

The candidates

This major event has been called AGE RAGE because we - like you - are angry that some people find themselves on the 'scrapheap' simply because there are younger candidates on the job market.

It's not going to change things overnight, but if we can help just one person NOT to end their life (as George did) then it will have been worth it.

As part of the project, 成人快手 Hereford and Worcester has selected a group, whose ages range from 45 to 69 years old, from around the two counties, who are finding their age is proving to be a barrier to work.

They're being given expert advice and help to find employers who can offer them work placements.

Transforming their lives or offering false hope?

成人快手 Hereford and Worcester decided to test if young and old people are treated similarly or differently.

The appearance of an man who's 24 years old was transformed by a make-up artist to look significantly older.

He was then taken to a charity shop to be fitted out with clothes typically worn by an older man.

His experience was recorded and made into a short film:
