Annotation | The original 'Not only bingo' study was first published in 1993, and followed research carried out in a sample of homes for older people in Greater London. This new edition draws on the experiences of a new selection of private and voluntary sector homes across England known to the author. She interviewed activity organisers who are members of NAPA, the National Association of Providers of Activities for Older People. While the book's original structure has generally been maintained, significant sections have been rewritten to include new approaches and understanding of the topic. There is a longer description of what is meant by "activity", and changes affecting the "activity agenda" are outlined, too. This publication has been endorsed by NAPA, and supported by the Underwood Trust. (RH). |
