Abstract
This project co-produced research exploring the isolation and loneliness of older people (ILOP) in an area of South Bristol (Greater Bedminster) in the UK. Data was collected through (1) A postcard writing activity with older people (2) Interviews with older people (3) A focus group with people who worked in community services/activities for older people (voluntary and statutory) and (4) A focus group with members of the community research group. Apart from (1), data is not stored as there was no consent to share.
The research was part of the Productive Margins: Regulating for Engagement programme.Busy streets, laughter, the sound of children playing - but what lies behind closed doors in our communities, especially for those in later life, who may feel lonely and isolated.
