To conduct research into the "Quality of Life Perceptions" of older people.


The aim of this project is to carry out the research focusing on vulnerable groups who are 50+, - in particular those who are alone, socially excluded and socially isolated, including minority groups. A questionnaire is used and with the information gleaned; participants will be signposted to appropriate service(s). A proportion of the participants will be reviewed during the life of the project to ascertain if their perceptions have increased following access to services.


If you would like to be involved in the project or perhaps have knowledge of someone that would be willing to participate – then please get in touch.
