| Annotation | The study described was carried out in partnership with two groups of older people: Caring Together, one of 37 neighbourhood networks in an ethnically diverse inner city area of Leeds; and the Retired Resource Network in Hartlepool, which brings together retired people to provide mutual support and to campaign on relevant issues. The older people talked about their lives, described the opportunities and challenges of getting old, and shed light on what makes for a "good life". A significant aspect of the study, by Mary Godfrey, Jean Townsend and Tracy Denby at Leeds University, was the partnership with the two groups, which participated in interviewing, analysing and shaping the report. The full report, "Building a good life for older people in local communities: the experience of ageing in time and place", is published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF). (KJ/RH). |
