When I get old’ movement invites collaborators 

Social Care Future has launched ‘When I get old’, a movement for a different care and support future. 

Led by Angela Catley and Sian Lockwood, ‘When I get old’ is a space for conversations and positive disruption. Angela and Sian are looking for allies – organisations and people thinking about the kind of care they would want for parents or themselves as they get older – to begin to have conversations and help create a movement for greater choice in the services and supports available for people in older age.
