| Annotation | One of the Mayor of London's manifesto commitments for the 2004 elections was to deliver an older people's strategy for London. This strategy sets out the Mayor's vision of a London where older people have choice and control over their lives, and are active, vital members of their communities. Identified as key issues are: challenging perceptions and promoting the contribution of older people; pensions and income; supporting community services; and promoting good quality health and social care. Other policy areas covered in the strategy are: empowering older Londoners; access to employment (in this instance, covering all people aged 50+); age equality; volunteering; culture and leisure; transport; crime and personal safety; e-Government and access to new technologies; housing and homelessness; fire safety in the home; and environment. The introduction also notes the needs of individuals and groups, for example: multiple discrimination and multiple need; women; ethnicity; refugees and asylum seekers; faith groups; disabled people; lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender groups; and older people living alone.
