Annotation	The authors outline the practices they have been developing with their Older People's Project in Camden and Islington to counteract the effects of discrimination and isolation. This article is based on a presentation at the National PSIGE Conference 2012 that is informed by Glenda Fredman's 'Systemic Cs' idea, in which Collaboration is central. The aim is for older people to have a voice and Choice, and focus on how people are Connected in Relationship. Also key to the approach are Communication, Conversation and Co-ordination. Attention to Context is essential, since that gives meaning to actions and beliefs. Circularity, Curiosity and Competence are seen as important in identifying problems and avoiding judgements. (RH).
