| Annotation | The Transitions in Later Life programme is based on the premise that transitions (e.g. retirement) provide an important opportunity to engage people in support and to ensure positive experiences in later life. This evaluation by the Centre for Ageing Better and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation considers seven projects which delivered short courses (mostly one-day) to older people. The projects evaluated were undertaken by: Age and Opportunity; Beth Johnson Foundation, in partnership with Ageing Without Children; the Centre for Policy on Ageing (CPA); Manchester MIND; NHS Cheshire and Wirral Partnership Foundation Trust; Positive Ageing Associates; and the Workers Educational Association (WEA). The evaluation covers the difference that courses (and particular aspects thereof) make for participants; who participated and why; operational lessons learned; and the difference that each programme makes to the delivery organisation. This report has not evaluated the specific outcomes from individual projects. An appendix provides an overview of each project. (RH). |
