Making railways age friendly

The Centre for Ageing & Dementia (CADR) has received funding Great Western Rail (GWR) Community Fund to look at the accessibility of stations from local areas and communities and run a co-design workshop to develop an age friendly rail service. 

They are currently looking for people aged 50+ who would like to get involved with the research. The research will focus on ways the railway can be improved for ageing customers but also crucially local communities within that.
