New Project: IncludeAge
The IncludeAge Project - Website is Live!
IncludeAge - Inclusion of diverse older people in community and public places and virtual spaces
IncludeAge focuses on how we can improve the inclusion of middle to older aged people (40+) with Learning Disabilities and/or people who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender + (LGBT+) (with the plus representing others who don’t identify as heterosexual or cisgender), by learning about their experiences of being included in physical places and online spaces. The goal is to build on what people tell us and to use this information to develop possible solutions to make communities more inclusive.

The IncludeAge is provided in a regular format and in an Easy Read format. Easy Read information is an accessible information format designed with and for people with Learning Disabilities. Check out the IncludeAge website in Easy Read HERE.
