| Annotation | The participatory dimension of a study which explored the age-friendliness of three wards in the city of Manchester is evaluated. The study aimed to examine opportunities and constraints for older people living in urban environments, with a view to improving their experience of living in the city. The study builds on policy priorities in the context of Manchester City Council being an active member of the World Health Organization's (WHO) Global Network of Age-Friendly Cities. This guide follows the experiences of 18 older residents who not only participated in research but were themselves trained to become researchers and interviewers. They have played a key role in all stages of the research, including the planning, design, execution and implementation phases of a research project focusing on developing age-friendly neighbourhoods in Manchester. The guide has been produced in partnership with the Manchester Institute for Collaborative Research on Ageing (MICRA), Age UK, Age-Friendly Manchester (Manchester City Council), and the Office for Social Responsibility at the University of Manchester. A 15-minute film has been produced in collaboration with the older co-researchers (see the link, https://youtu.be/WXELgwHQ34o). (RH). |
