Embracing ethnic diversity within our retirement living communities

Ageing and what it means to me

It was a privilege to be asked to be a member of a discussion panel at the ‘ARCO – What Next’ conference 2022, in a session looking at diversity and inclusion: embracing ethnic diversity and elevating value in integrated retirement communities. During the session, I brought both my professional and personal experience to the discussion, being from a South Asian background and as a senior leader at MHA in my role as Head of Retirement Living. MHA operates in areas of the country where the communities we serve have large minority populations. I also have previous experience working for a specialist Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME) organisation that housed older people from minority communities.
