HAVING had a successful business career, it came as a shock when, in my mid-50s I became a victim of ageism. Some 20 years later I now have to depend on the state to survive, but I still have ideas and dreams.
I am sure there are other people like me who have no resources to develop their ideas. What we need are business angels who have contacts, who could help us.
My idea is for a company to be formed called 3rd Age Entrepreneurs, which would act as a conduit, through which such ‘angels’ could provide help.
Are there any such angels out there? If so, I can be contacted at jayarmcder@yahoo.co.uk
