Connecting Equalities Active
We know older people face inequalities in accessing services and living independent lives. This work will build on work with older people and older people’s groups focusing on their everyday experiences of equalities and human rights. The project will take an intersectional approach to create space for community conversations and learning about different aspects of older people’s lives.
