Practice & Research Outcomes

The research is designed to have community, policy and theoretical implications. Outputs will be aimed at both academic and a range of ‘user’ audiences.

The research will generate new knowledge about the substantive issues addressed by the study and by its innovative methods.
The project seeks to promote the development and sustainability of community initiatives with diverse groups of older people. Community residents and partners will be involved in discussion about potential research outputs. Outputs are likely to include forums in each of the study areas to discuss the findings and to consider plans for extending the initiatives.
The research team will work closely with partners in Manchester to encourage the design of policies and practices that can improve the quality of older people’s lives. A wider audience of policy makers will be targeted through workshops, aimed at informing the ongoing development of Manchester City Council’s ageing strategy.
