Denise also spoke about the Aotearoa New Zealand National Forum for the Decade of healthy ageing | He Oranga Kaumātua, He Oranga Tangata. This think-tank and advocacy forum of leading organisations within the older persons’ sector looks to raise awareness of the UN Decade of healthy ageing (2021-2030) and how New Zealand might be enabled to become a better place to grow older. Combatting ageism is the National Forum’s main campaign focus.
