We lobby on behalf of elders in UK care homes by creating a national agenda of the most urgent prorities and accelerating implementation
The Age Reform Coalition (ARC) has been formed because there are lots of good causes fighting for elders out there, but there is poor communication between these organisations. This leads to duplication of effort, message dilution and inefficiency. ARC has been created to recognise areas of strategic common ground so that members can speak with one voice on a range of improvements. This will bring critical mass and the ability to accelerate change. Please look out for our official launch in November 2021.
ARC will be led by Hourglass who have been established for 40 years and we have 3 other founding member organisations (Sayso, Nightingales Army and BCHS).
One of our ultimate objectives will be the formation of an APPG on safer ageing and a Minister in England specifically responsible for Elders
