The first few months after the official coming together of Age Concern
England and Help the Aged - being formalised on 1 April - will provide an
opportunity for older people across England to say how they would like to
engage with the new charity.
A month-long series of 20 half-day events at 10 different locations across
England starting in early-May is being planned. The purpose of the events
is to introduce the new charity to as wide an audience of older people as
possible and to find out how they would like to get involved with the new
organisation.
On each of the event days there will be two meetings - one in the morning
and one in the afternoon. Up to a total of 200 people can attend on each
day. Lunch will be provided free of charge to everyone who takes part.
Dates that have been confirmed so far are:
12 May - Preston
13 May - Newcastle-upon-Tyne
15 May - Leeds
18 May – Birmingham
22 May - Taunton
26 May - London
27 May - Brighton
29 May - Cambridge
Venues and dates still have to be confirmed for a second event day in
London and one in the East Midlands – details will be available by the
middle of March. All venues are accessible for people with disabilities
and will have an induction loop. There will also be a limited travel
bursary.
If you are an older person who would like to attend, details of how to
register are below. If your organisation works with older people or has
members who are 50+, please circulate information about the events to
them.
Registration is made by calling 08458 884444 or 01952 214076 or by sending
an email to memberservices@heyday.org.uk People will be asked whether they want to
attend a morning or an afternoon session.
The Equality Bill has now been published and contains a raft of measures designed to tackle inequality and help Britain become a fairer society by simplifying legislation, improving public services and extending protection to a wide range of groups facing discrimination.
Trevor Phillips, Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, today said that the Equality Bill will “remove the roadblocks to finding the talent to drive our economic recovery”.
Full details on the bill, including an outline briefing on the Commission’s response, can be found on our website at:
