Like many of the Ageing Better partnerships in England, Ageing Better Isle of Wight (known as Age Friendly Island) is a multi-project Programme. This report explores how the Programme is working to reduce isolation by exploring how older people access, participate and move between the projects.
We are excited to be sharing a range of documents that highlight the key insights, lessons and stories from the Rural Wisdom evaluation as the project comes to the end of its first stage in the five rural communities in Wales (Milford Haven, Leeswood & Pontblyddyn) and Scotland (Eaglesham, Highland Perthshire, North Angus).
The Age Friendly Island project, delivered by Age UK IW and Community Action, is part of an Ageing Better partnership funded by The National Lottery Community Fund. The partnership aims to make the Isle of Wight a great place to grow older, encourage better relations between generations, and tackle social isolation and loneliness.
