Early last year, we commissioned a number of Greater Manchester based organisations to deliver research projects on different communities of identity or experience.

Depending on their backgrounds, culture and life circumstances, different people need different things to feel socially connected and supported in their daily lives. We funded the Ageing Equally? research programme to find out more. The programme aimed to generate a deeper understanding of what supports wellbeing and what makes places age-friendly for a cross-section of communities of identity or experience within the population of Greater Manchester, in order to prevent social isolation.
