Safe Ageing No Discrimination

SAND abbreviates Safe Ageing No Discrimination and they work to improve experiences of older and old LGBT+ people in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin.

In order to better understand the barriers and challenges people face and to give our support, we have signed their EMBRACE Covenant. 

The Energize team took part in a workshop with SAND and heard about the fear and discrimination that exists for older LGBT+ people.

We are actioning the five commitments of their EMBRACE covenant; these are:

 

Taking Steps

We have purchased ‘Inclusive’ (rainbow stripe) lanyards for our Elevate postural stability instructors to wear when delivering strength and balance falls prevention classes to people aged 60+ in Shropshire.

Supporting others

Our Office Manager, Helen Madden, (pictured left on first row) is trained by SAND to share learning and facilitate conversations with colleagues, to support our work and the campaign to EMBRACE A Culture of Inclusion across the county.

 

Armed Forces Covenant

We have signed the Armed Forces Covenant to demonstrate our support for the Armed Forces Community in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin. Our CEO, Pete Ezard (pictured far left), signed the covenant alongside other organisations across Shropshire. We work with the local Armed Forces Outreach Support Service to inform our work and recruitment.
