Working with Diverse Communities with Time to Shine
Event Information
About this event
This event will take place online
Time to Shine delivery partners have worked across a range of diverse communities in Leeds during the programme's period of existence. They have ranged from Lychee Red - the Chinese Elders group, LIHH's work with Irish elders and Health for All's work to support the Black Elders Network.
We will be looking at this work today, and thinking about how to make sure we start to use anti-racism as we work with older people across the city.
The event will include a chance to hear from successful projects about what worked, and time to reflect on your own practice and how to make your activities inclusive.
As Time to Shine moves into its seventh and final year we are running a series of events for older people's organisations. These events are of interest to anyone who works with older people, managers, paid workers and volunteers. The events will share the learning gathered from Time to Shine delivery partners in Leeds over the last six years, and will also include learning from the other 13 Ageing Better programmes. They will also involve you in discussion with colleagues about how you might use this learning in real life settings within your organisations.
The zoom link will be sent to you when you book. Please do encourage colleagues to join the event but ask them to book themselves so we can get an idea of numbers.
The event is free
The presentations are available as word documents for anyone using screen reading software, just ask.
Organiser Time To Shine, Leeds Older People's Forum
Organiser of Working with Diverse Communities with Time to Shine
Run by Leeds Older people's Forum, Time to Shine aims to reduce social isolation and loneliness of the older population in Leeds.
Time to Shine is one of fourteen areas which form Ageing Better ; and ambitious, large-scale programme funded and developed by the National lottery Community Fund. Ageing better aims to improve the life of people aged 50 and over by reducing social isolation and loneliness.
Time to Shine takes a very positive view on learning. We have developed a test and learn approach to finding out what works to reduce loneliness and social isolation amongst older people. The most important thing is to learn from this and use that learning to improve things in the future.
