	Part of Polari's work was to stimulate the creation of social and support networks for older LGBT people. Much of this work has since been taken on by Age UK. through local and regional Age UK organisations, and LGBT forums and other organisations locally. Age of Diversity will work closely with such bodies, but has a different focus: acting as a voice for older LGBT people at national and regional levels.
