Ageing Well event resources
We had a rich and informative online learning event on 26 November, with just under 60 attendees joining for the two and half hours of presentations and workshops.
Thanks to all those who were able to attend. We had lively discussions in the workshops, which have provided us with some useful suggestions to take forward.
The event marked the first of series of events at which we’ll be sharing learning from across the Connect Hackney programme; providing a forum for various partners including commissioners, policymakers and frontline workers, as well as older people themselves to come together and collaborate to find solutions for addressing the issue of loneliness and isolation amongst older people in Hackney.
We had some fantastic informative presentations and, as promised, please find below the slide-decks used for each of those given at the event, as well as a summary of learning from the workshops held:
- Loneliness: The national context, presented by Kate Jopling, independent consultant.
- An in-depth study of digital inclusion projects for older people before and during the Covid-19 pandemic, presented by Cathy Salisbury, University of East London.
- Co-production, partnership working and system change – Professor Angela Harden, University of East London.
- Groundwork London – Digital Inclusion project case study, presented by Naomi Freeman, Senior Community Project Officer at Groundwork London.
- Summary of learning from the workshops on systems change and on digital inclusion (pre and post Covid-19).
Thanks to all our speakers which, in addition to the above includes Cllr Yvonne Maxwell who spoke to the local context and Cllr Chris Kennedy who closed the event with a rallying of positivity.
