| Annotation | The needs and problems of diverse communities of older people in Slough in relation to information, advocacy and advice are explored. A Project Working Group of organisations run by and for older people in Slough worked in partnership with a research team from the University of Reading. Older people were interviewed individually and within focus groups, as were service providers. Recommendations for services that would meet the needs expressed by older people were developed, and solutions then prioritised. These findings outline the study's results with regard to older people's preferred styles of service, and the difficulties perceived by older people and service providers. The full report, "Older people's perspectives: devising information, advice and advocacy services" by Ann Quinn, Angela Snowling and Pam Denicolo, is published on behalf of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) by York Publishing Services.
