| Annotation | The way to engage people successfully lies not solely in creating talking shops, but creating 'doing' shops. This article describes the activities of the Northampton Healthy Communities Collaborative, a partnership of the primary care trust (PCT), the borough council, social services, Care and Repair, and Age Concern Northampton. The Collaborative started as a project engaging local people to reduce the incidence of falls among older people. While many of the volunteers are older people, the Collaborative has covered cooking skills and healthy eating for all ages and in schools. The Collaborative is thus making a difference to the health and well-being of the whole community, and helping engage older people as active citizens. (RH). |
