| Annotation | LinkAge Plus aimed to improve the well-being of older people through stronger partnership working between local government and the voluntary and community sectors, better information and access to services, and putting older people at the forefront of service design and delivery. This is a summary of Department for Work and Pensions Research report no 572, carried out by the Local Government Centre, Warwick Business School, on behalf of the DWP. It outlines 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. (RH). |
