The Inaugural PinkNews Ageing Summit 2019
Supported by Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner
Research sponsored by Aegon
Ageing populations place strains on the finance, health, care and housing sectors of countries worldwide. In the UK, older LGBT+ people shoulder a disproportionate amount of this burden -- studies show that LGBT+ older people suffer from loneliness and mental health issues more than others, have difficulty being openly LGBT+ in care, and suffer from ill health at greater rates.
Join PinkNews as we examine how housing, healthcare, social care, financial and legal sectors can be more inclusive of older LGBT+ people, and find solutions for some of the most vulnerable members of the LGBT+ community.
