AnnotationTwo charitable trusts - the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, and the Mercers' Company - provided financial support to five local Age Concern projects to undertake work focusing on empowering older people with learning disabilities and their families. The projects focused on one or more of these areas of work: supporting inclusion; developing partnerships; research and development; and independence, voice and choice. The five pilot project locations selected - Coventry, Leicester, Norfolk, Norwich and Nottingham - variously undertook activities on collecting information, consulting people, raising awareness, improving communication, and delivering services. Les Bright, independent consultant, undertook the programme evaluation and wrote the evaluation report on which this briefing is based (e-mail: BrightLes@aol.com). (RH).
