In March last year, when we thought we were facing a short-term crisis, we wrote about the impact of reduced social contact on the loneliness and isolation of older people.

Although the Equality Act 2010 has to some extent reduced overt prejudice, the discrimination, fear and isolation older LGBT+ people experience continues to impact on their expectations […]
