AnnotationThis publication outlines Orbit Charitable Trust's work for the research project 'Housing and care for the most vulnerable older people: what can social housing providers and older people's organisations do together?' It presents highlights from the Big Conversations held during Phase One of the research between older people's housing organisations and older people's organisations. A literature review focuses on concepts such as localism, low level support and social capital. It also looks at services provided by local Age UKs. The Research Team's final report notes these features as necessary for social housing providers and older people's organisations in working together: learning together to find what works; knowledge transfer; communication; organisations involved have to be totally committed; changes don't have to cost the earth; working with, not for; and taking responsibility for ourselves as we grow older.
