The COVID-19 pandemic has put a spotlight on the rights and needs of older persons. While everyone has been affected, evidence shows that older people are among those most at risk of complications from the disease, with fatality rates for those over 80 years of age five times the global average. They are also at greater risk of poverty, discrimination and isolation. Older persons have been hit particularly hard by the virus itself but it has been the failure to protect their rights in the response that has led to unnecessary deaths, unmet health and care needs, increased isolation, discrimination and stigma.
This webinar will:
Recognise the impact of COVID-19 on the wellbeing and dignity of older persons across the Commonwealth
Raise awareness of ageism, stigma and discrimination against older people in the COVID-19 response and the need to foster intergenerational connections across the Commonwealth
Reflect on how The Commonwealth needs to adapt to ensure the rights of its citizens of all ages are respected.

Inter Faith Week is coming up and is taking place between 8th and 15th November.
Growing inter faith understanding and co-operation….
Building good relationships and working partnerships between people of different faiths and beliefs is part of the year-round work of many people and organisations across the UK.
Having a special Week provides a focal point, helping to open inter faith activity up to a wider audience so that more and more people are made aware of the importance of this vital work and are able to participate in it.
There’s plenty of further information on their website and ways you can get involved with your wider community HERE.
