We’re Here Too 2016 Report

Published 2017. In the autumn and winter of 2016 we held three We're Here Too events looking at how older people can have better links with their communities. We looked at this idea, alongside how to stay active and well as we get older and how black and minority ethnic (BME) older people can be more included in the decisions that affect them. This is the report we wrote up following the three events.
