Ageing Without Children
From w4mpedia
Advice, support and advocacy for people who do not have children or 'next generation' support.
Their website says that their mission is:
- to raise awareness of the impact that growing older without the support of family can have and develop strategies and solutions to address this
- to challenge the narratives and assumptions often made around ageing and childlessness
- to provide information, social connection and peer support to people ageing without children
- to influence and work in partnership with other organisations addressing the needs of older people and the challenges of later life
- to work with academic researchers, public/patient involvement groups and policymakers to develop a stronger knowledge base which can be a positive influence for policy change and wider awareness
