I think they mean "Say No To Ageism" week, but to me, it reads Say "No" To Ageism Week

If they want a week of saying no to ageism, presumably they're perfectly down with saying no to a pro-ageism week. So it's not like it reverses the meaning entirely or anything.

It is a civil service organisation. If you have a skill at something, the civil service makes a point of not asking you to do a job in which it can be applied. (I know one guy who knows knowthing about economics, taxation, or when diminishing returns whose job is to see what the effect of increasing the tax on various goods by n percent would be on tax revenue.)
