Justice Matters: Do we live in an ageist society?

Do we live in an ageist society?

We often hear on the news that we live in an ageing society. But what exactly does this mean for our economy, the services provided by the state and the people who are living longer?

This short film sets out one angle affecting people who have care and support needs.

Join us on Wednesday 18th July to hear more on the subject from Age UK. As usual, we'll be meeting at Coffee Republic on North Finchley High Road from 7.30pm.

This will be our final formal gathering of the summer term - don't miss out!

What is Justice Matters?

Justice Matters is a community of activists, optimists and ordinary radicals based in North London. Our interests are wide and varied but our cause is common - to "learn to do right, seek justice, encourage the oppressed, defend the cause of the fatherless [and] plead the case of the widow" (Isaiah 1:17).

We meet in North Finchley on the first and third Wednesdays of every month (unless otherwise advertised). Whether you are already an active campaigner, you have a passion for social justice that you aren't sure want to do with, or if you just want to find out more, you are very welcome. Gatherings start at 7:30pm with coffee and catching up, followed by a more formal programme from 8pm.
