Rita Newton addresses Cross Party Group of National Assembly for Wales

SURFACE team member, Rita Newton, has addressed a special meeting of the National Assembly for Wales' Cross Party Group on Older People and Ageing.

Exploring how the built environment can affect the wellbeing and quality of life of older people, the presentation took place at the request of the Group's Chair, Mike Hedges, AM for Swansea East. Held in Cardiff Bay, it was facilitated by Age Cymru and attended by around 30 invited representatives of key stakeholder groups, as well as members of the National Assembly.

Rita's presentation was based on current SURFACE research projects: Inclusive Design for Getting Outdoors (I’DGO); and Going Outdoors: Falls, Ageing & Resilience (Go Far).
