About Us. Creative Ageing Communities Project

The project began in 2022, building on over 6 years of work by The Creative Team based at Age UK Oxfordshire. Delivering strategic co-ordination, co-designed pilot projects, influencing channels, and a co-designed evaluation, the project began with the lived experience of older people, and it developed in response to their ideas.

Genuine co-design took our work into new directions and this resource is an opportunity to share the outcomes we developed, but perhaps more importantly, how our approach changed and what we learned, as a collective, throughout the process.

In each of the chapters we have included details, key milestones and reflections on our ideas right now, with suggestions for others to develop in the future.
