Leeds Older People’s Forum has produced our Manifesto for Change in order to amplify the needs and concerns of older people in Leeds, and to influence politicians and policy-makers, in the run-up to the general election of 2024, and beyond.
Visit the Manifesto for Change post on the LOPF website
Leeds Older People’s Forum four priorities for change:
- Social and community-based care needs adequate funding to ensure it is high quality and personalised.
- Prevention must be given a high priority so we all have a good quality of life not just additional years.
- Older people in Leeds must be listened to to ensure we are a truly age and dementia friendly city.
- Age must be respected, with greater recognition as a protected characteristic, enabling people to age with dignity.
