Researchers in SSPARC have recently published a research report and findings evaluating the LifeLines programme for older people.
The report sets out the findings from the independent evaluation of the Treasury-funded LifeLines programme. The programme was developed in the context of social policies emphasising prevention, active ageing, the promotion of independence and well-being and minimising the demand on health and social care services made by an ageing population.
The evaluation, commissioned by the LifeLines partnership, was undertaken between July 2008 and December 2010. LifeLines was a partnership involving Adult Social Care (Brighton and Hove City Council), the PCT, the Business Community Partnership, local BME and LGBT community groups, Impact Initiatives and the Retired Senior Volunteer Programme (RSVP), with Age Concern Brighton Hove and Portslade responsible for management and delivery.
You can download the research report and the summary of research findings from the SSPARC publications page.
