| Annotation | This is a summary of research commissioned by the Big Lottery Fund (BLF) in December 2006 about older people, who are defined as people aged over 50. The aim of the research was to assess the impact of the BLF's funding programmes on older people, to explore opportunities for older people in BLF's funding programmes, and to identify areas of need that would make an effective contribution for older people in the future. Older people have benefited from programmes funded by the BLF and its predecessors - the New Opportunities Fund (NOF) and the Community Fund. The research suggests the potential for BLF and other funding organisations to assist older people in these areas of need: health and social care; independent living; poverty and social exclusion; employment and education; active citizenship; improving public spaces; advocacy; transport; crisis services; intergenerational work; and funding approaches generally.
