Halfway through the Time to Shine programme, our findings include that we have not been successful enough in reaching socially isolated older people from BAME communities.
Feel Good Factor has a lovely garden that is always popular with groups.
The focus of project and its activities will be to reduce loneliness, social isolation, ensure older people are at the heart of the project and its development and, are invested in and supported to make a difference for themselves and for others.
Participants will primarily be of African Caribbean descent aged 60 years and over residing in the 10% most deprived areas of Northeast Leeds. The project will use person-centred approaches in reaching older people who are lacking in confidence and the support needed to get out of the home.
