"confirmed my belief in humanity", reflection from one of the co-production collaborators. Brilliant work led by @lutilang and @skyarker. Being part of the project has given me me new perspectives on faith, community and collaboration. Lots of food for thought.
@LeverhulmeTrust
Today is the final knowledge exchange for the 'Role is faith spaces and social infrastructure' project with @MCC_AFMTeam and the #ageinginplace project. Fantastic to have a diverse audience coming together at Qadria Jilania Islamic Centre to hear our research findings @uomsoss

Our "Ageing in Place" film is officially released today! Pleased to be able to support @Ageing_Better and their @AgeWithoutLimit Action Day.
Thanks to all the older people and the cities we have worked with, helping us continue to reimagine urban ageing.

🚨 New findings suggest the cost-of-living crisis disproportionately impacted older Black, Asian & other ethnic minorities.
📢 Tackling inequality should be a priority for government say Dr Camilla Lewis, @skyarker & Professor Chris Phillipson: blog.policy.manchester.ac.uk…
