| Annotation | Age Concern England (ACE) welcomes the National Strategy for Neighbourhood Renewal (report by the Social Exclusion Unit). However, the organisation is disappointed that older people appear to have been largely excluded from the strategy, both in terms of their actual and potential role as contributors to the process of neighbourhood renewal, but also as people whose lives could be improved as a result. ACE suggests ways in which the Strategy's 30 key ideas for delivering social inclusion and eliminating deprivation are, or could be, relevant to older people. Examples are cited of national and local Age Concern services and initiatives. ACE suggests how it can contribute to making the Strategy a success, by referring to the organisation's objectives: promoting positive attitudes towards older people and ageing; influencing and developing public policies that affect older people; promoting effective care for, and services to, older people; and encouraging choice and opportunity for older people. Ways are suggested in which the organisation can assist with unlocking social capital in deprived neighbourhoods. (RH). |
