Back in the summer we asked older people in Gloucestershire to “Raise Their Voices” by completing our survey and telling us what they were experiencing during lockdown. Here, Rob presents the findings and talks about how this information will help shape our ambition to make Gloucestershire the best county in which to grow older.
The presentation took place on Zoom and includes live discussion with local older people as well as representatives from other organisations in the County.
