We were pleased to attend the launch of Realising Protection from Age Discrimination: International, Regional, and National Perspectives, edited by Helen Meenan and Christa Tobler and published by Edward Elgar Publishing.
The event explored how people can be better protected from unfair treatment because of their age, particularly in later life. It was a chance to hear from researchers and legal experts about what needs to change.
At Ashford Place, this is close to our hearts. We want older people to feel listened to, valued and involved in decisions about local services. Alongside practical support, making space for people to share their experiences and ideas is an important part of our work.
After all, we are all getting older! Our aim is to help people enjoy later life with health, independence and connection to others.
Whether you use our services or support our work, we would love to hear your thoughts: what helps you feel included and heard as you grow older?
