Wider Impact delivers an independent evaluation of an Older Persons Support Worker Project, which is delivered within the context of the provision of improving health, well-being and service delivery for the over 50’s in the Bloxwich East, Blakenall and Leamore areas of Walsall.
Commissioned by Walsall’s New Deal for Communities, Wider Impact is pleased to produce an extremely positive report on a project that is innovative and without doubt delivering ‘value for money’ in its area of operation. According to multi-agency partners, the project is ‘adding value’ to services being delivered to local elderly residents. It is clear that the project is playing a significant role in tackling the ‘over 50’s Time Bomb’ described by research studies such as that outlined by In My Prime (Social Research).
Wider Impact Director Edwin Lewis says, “This is an important report and all those involved in setting up and delivering this project should be congratulated. There is no doubt others could learn from this excellent example of ‘good practice’ and we thank all those who have contributed to this report.”
