The project builds on Ageing Proud’s previous 2024 RDG’s research agenda by identifying key areas of research needed for LGBTIQ+ ageing well, including planning for better ageing. This includes work income and retirement, Rainbow older people, maintaining independence in social activities, housing, and resilience.
RDG members will collaborate with other community members and domain-specific experts to identify planning needs, facilitators, barriers, and research and funding pathways to empower their communities to effectively plan for better ageing, promoting better health outcomes and reducing inequities.
