To assist the most disadvantaged in society to fulfil their potential by building connections and developing opportunities…
we will help improve the quality and coherence of services for individuals facing multiple needs and exclusions through support of the Making Every Adult Matter coalition (latest Progress Report available here) and its work to help local areas design and deliver coordinated service interventions;
we will support and develop more meaningful connections for older people and across generations particularly through exploration and promotion of an all-ages approach to public, voluntary and private sector practice, including dissemination of the IntergenerationAll programme and work of the EMIL network, research into grandparenting across the EU, and activities during the European Year of Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations in 2012; we will also support measures which tackle loneliness in older age, including the Campaign to End Loneliness.
