| Annotation | Based on the learning from positive ageing work over the last ten or so years at the Beth Johnson Foundation (BJF), this report explores a model of working with individuals and communities that embeds ageing as a natural part of the life course and supports quality of life into later age. A pilot project by BJF from 2001-2003 had used a community development approach to engage with people in mid-life (aged 50-65) who were living in both urban and rural neighbourhoods in North Staffordshire. Subsequent work has looked at ageing as encompassing prevention and early intervention measures, and which encourages people to prepare and plan for their future, regardless of age. This report was funded by the Headley Foundation. (RH). |
