Supporters
The Mayor and I are committed to making London a fairer and more inclusive city and that includes celebrating the significant contribution that older Londoners make to our capital. I am proud that London has signed up to the World Health Organisation’s global network of age-friendly cities and we are determined to help make London a dementia friendly city by 2020. Stay Safe supports our mission to make London a city where everyone can thrive and focuses our attention on improving the lives of older Londoners by providing support, interactive workshops and of course, Stay Safe Week.
Matthew Ryder, Deputy Mayor for Social Integration, Social Mobility and Community Engagement London and Sadiq Khan – Mayor of London
Dame Esther Rantzen ‘It is really important that older people are given the confidence to be able to enjoy life without fearing accidents or swindles which make them and their families anxious about their safety. This is a really wonderful project and I wish it every success.’
Hugh Pym BBC Health Correspondent ‘We are very interested in issues affecting older people in their home environment. There is so much pressure on the NHS and Social Care System and with winter approaching; any initiative that can help people look after themselves and their families is very important.’
