| Annotation | LinkAge Plus aimed to test the limits of holistic working between central and local government and the voluntary and community sector, with a goal of improving older people's well-being. This report presents the final evaluation of LinkAge Plus and brings together key findings across the eight pilot areas (Gateshead, Leeds, Salford, Nottinghamshire, Tower Hamlets, Lancaster, Gloucestershire and Devon), for example in promoting social inclusion and community cohesion. There is no one LinkAge Plus model, with each of the eight areas taking a different approach based on the needs of older people in their area. However, there were common themes based around stronger partnership working, better information and access to services, and putting older people at the centre of service design and delivery. Taken together, this can be said to represent a "LinkAge Plus approach". (RH). |
