SUMMARY:Rainbow Retirement Day: Later Life Planning for the LGBTQIA+ Community
DESCRIPTION:Age UK Richmond has organised the Rainbow Retirement Day in partnership with the Landmark Arts Centre. We warmly invite the gay\, lesbian\, bisexual\, transgender and queer community to attend this free event. The purpose of the event is to help you plan for later life. Lasting Power of Attorney and Wills are especially important for same-sex couples and chosen families. Sadly\, older LGBTQIA+ people may not have the legal right to make decisions for beloved life partners in their final days. Solicitors will give talks and advice over Q&A sessions on these topics. There will also be a presentation on Queer History\, reflecting on how far we have come. The Rainbow Retirement Day will also get attendees thinking about choosing an LGBTQIA+ friendly care home. Heartbreakingly\, the older generation can be forced back into the closet in care home settings\, for fear of neglect or even abuse. Our hope is that older LGBTQIA+ people can live happy\, safe authentic lives\, right until the very end of the rainbow. \nOrder of the Day  \n11am Registration and coffee \n11.15 am Talk #1 and Q&A: Wills with Sophie Conrad Jones and Yolanda Mapes from Parsonage & Co Solicitors \n12.00 Break \n12.15 Talk #2 and Q&A: Queer History with Roland Chesters from the Queer Museum \n1.00 Break (soup and light refreshments available to buy from Landmark Art Centre cafe) \n2pm: Talk #3 and Q&A: Lasting Power of Attorney with Nigel George from Garner Hancock Solicitors \n2.45 Break \n3pm Talk #4 and Q&A: Choosing an LGBTQ+ Friendly Care Home with Clare Truscott and Ted Brown from the Not Going in the Care Closet Campaign \n3.45 Close of event \nDuring the breaks\, please visit the stands hosted by charities and collect some literature to take away with you. We also invite you to join in with the communal creative project making a visual\, interactive timeline and vision board that spans Queer History (Past)\, Present Experiences\, and Future Hopes related to aging\, safety\, and LGBTQIA+ identity. It’s part tribute\, part storytelling\, and part future-planning — we welcome your voice.
