Annotation	As part of the European Union (EU) funded project, AGE/inc: Transnational Exchange Project: Social Inclusion, six workshops were held with older people to gather their views on key aspects of their lives. This report includes participants' comments on: money issues; mobility and transport; the local environment; crime; housing and regeneration; activities; isolation; and health and social care. The report also reflects general scepticism, that politicians do not listen to older people's views when making decisions. The workshops were based on a toolkit developed from previous consultations with excluded groups as part of the Get Heard campaign run by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). Appendices comprise examples of materials used, such as a consent forms. and the report notes the importance of such items when conducting research. (RH).
