"I cannot imagine my life without Marjorie, so I urge everyone to be open to intergenerational friendships – age is irrelevant, and you could be missing out on so much laughter and fun!"
This event marked the launch of the University of Manchester report, ‘Covid-19 and Social Exclusion: Experiences of older people living in areas of multiple deprivation’.
This webinar looked at how imagery shapes and reinforces negative attitudes to ageing, and explored current efforts to depict older age in a more positive and realistic light.
The Centre for Ageing Better’s #AgeingWithPride campaign is an important celebration of older LGBT+ people, but we mustn’t forget the challenges and discrimination that this community continues to face.
The Centre for Ageing Better is currently in its sixth year as an organisation with a focus on improving the experiences, opportunities and chances of those approaching or living in later life.
“I sometimes feel guilty – that I am still alive and some of those wonderful, talented, sexy people aren’t with us anymore. I will raise a glass to those good friends.”
