The Project – Project Overview, Aims, Objectives and Rationale

The IncludeAge project wants to look at how older people are included.
These are older people with learning disabilities or those who are LGBT+.

The information that the project finds can be used to include older people better in their communities.

Being included is a human right and is important for a meaningful life.

The experiences of older people with learning disabilities and those who are LGBT+ are not well known.

The project wants to learn about their experiences so they can be included.

IncludeAge wants to:
• understand experiences of older people in the past and today.
• learn how to make inclusive spaces with and for them.
• shape policies that support the inclusion of older people who have learning disabilities and those who are LGBT+.
