IntroductionBristol Ageing Better (BAB) was created by a group of partners including Age UK Bristol, Bristol Older Peoples’ Forum and Bristol City Council who wanted to create a strategic programme with older people at the heart which would test different approaches to tackling isolation and loneliness. With £6 million from the National Lottery Community Fund (previously the Big Lottery Fund), BAB launched in April 2015 and has since funded over 60 projects across the city. BAB continues to work with delivery partners to review the projects, looking for what worked well, how older people feel about the projects and what should change if it was repeated.

This directory of projects shows what BAB is funding during the year April 2019 to March 2020. This only includes live projects, but you can find out more about all of the projects and the evaluations and learning from them on our website, www.bristolageingbetter.org.uk

One notable absence from our current delivery is that of Age Friendly Bristol. Delivered through the BAB programme management team, the aim of this project is to make Bristol more Age Friendly, considering services and projects as well as the physical aspects of the city such as parks, streets and transport services. You can find out more about this project on our website or through the separate Age Friendly Bristol strategy.

This document also does not show the massive amount of work that is done for BAB by volunteers across Bristol, whether they are volunteering with a delivery partner, Involved in our panels or steering groups, presenting the Babbers show on Ujima 98fm or being a Community Researcher and evaluating the BAB projects. We are grateful to everyone who contributes and has contributed, helping to deliver Bristol Ageing Better and improving the lives of isolated and lonely older people.

Delivered by: Bristol Community Health (South, Central and East Bristol) Bristol Community Health – A social enterprise that delivers health services into people’s homes and in community settings across Bristol. This includes services such as community nursing, physiotherapy, reablement and occupational therapy.

We provide free signposting and support to people over 50 who want to feel less isolated and more involved in their community.

Our trained navigators will:

• Take time to get to know a person and find out what is important to them. They may visit a person a few times at home so they can support them personally.

• Share information about what is happening locally and help people get involved in things that they are interested in. This might include meeting people, rekindling old hobbies, becoming more active, volunteering or learning something new.

• Tackle any concerns people might have about getting out and about – like safety, transport or money worries – by linking people up with other community groups.

• Offer extra support if a person is nervous. Navigators can go along with people to try something new for the first time.

The service is short-term and completely free. It is available to people in their homes or via telephone appointments.

NBAC is a value based organisation with the needs of our clients and local communities at the heart of all that we do. We are committed to delivering a range of high quality services that respond to those needs with innovation and flair.

Our Aim is to promote social justice and combat poverty by providing free and independent advice and support that enables people to develop skills, improve wellbeing and make positive changes in their lives and communities.

Community Navigators offer free personal signposting and support for older people who want to do more in their local area.

Whether it is meeting people, becoming more active, rekindling old hobbies, volunteering or learning something new - the community navigator can point them in the right direction.

If the person needs extra support, the community navigator can come along with them when they try something for the first time. They can also support the older person with any concerns that they have about getting out and about – including safety, transport or money worries – by connecting them with other community and health services to tackle these problems.

First Contact ChecklistDelivered by: The Care ForumThe Care Forum is an independent voluntary and community sector organisation, celebrating over 20 years of achieving better outcomes for people using health and social care services.

The First Contact Checklist is a series of questions that each refer to a different agency or service in Bristol. The checklist can be asked to any older person in the city and all of the available services cover the whole area. When a checklist is completed, it is passed to the administrator at the Care Forum who then makes the referral to each identified agency or service. For peace of mind, the administrator also follows up with the agencies a few weeks after to make sure that they have been in touch.

The checklist allows for organisations to easily refer older people to different services that may be relevant to them in a safe and coordinated way. The checklist is available online: www.wellaware.org.uk/first-contact

Talking TherapiesDelivered by: Second StepSecond Step is a leading mental health charity in the South West offering housing, support and hope to thousands of people with mental health and other problems.

We work hand-in-hand with a network of recognised experts and partners including the NHS and local authorities to put mental health first. We offer practical help and emotional support, with counselling and cutting-edge therapies tailored to each individual and their recovery. Our experience of working with Bristol’s significant population of rough sleepers has helped us to support people with multiple needs including drug or alcohol addiction. We also offer support services for those whose mental health problems have left them isolated and alone in their own communities.

The service: Older people will be able to access up to 6 talking therapy sessions (including initial assessment) in their own home, or via phone/Skype. Sessions will take place weekly or fortnightly for up to 1.5 hrs, Mon-Fri. Some evening appointments will be available.

We involve older people in the design and delivery of the project via quarterly meetings of an ‘experts by experience’ reference group, and a steering committee.

Shared ReadingDelivered by: The ReaderThe Reader is an award-winning national charity that since 2008, has pioneered the use of Shared Reading as a simple yet powerful activity to improve wellbeing, reduce isolation and build community. The charity delivers Shared Reading groups across a range of settings across the UK – from prisons, to care homes, schools to sheltered housing sites across the UK - led by a network of highly trained and committed volunteers.

Shared Reading inspires and supports people to read, aloud, together. Led by a trained facilitator, it connects people to great literature and each other through live experienc-es, in weekly groups, that make literature accessible to all - regardless of background, age or ability. Thoughts and experiences are shared and social connections are made – in a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment. Groups are free, no pre-reading is required and group members can participate how they wish – be it read aloud, share their thoughts or simply listen.

The Reader will be training 60 staff/volunteers to deliver 30 Shared Reading groups across the city – reaching those over-50, at risk of social isolation on hospital wards, sheltered housing sites, libraries and a range of other settings. This project will enable The Reader to bring people together, in a welcoming space and connect with great stories and poems and each other.

Rocking the BoatDelivered by: All Aboard WatersportsAll-Aboard Watersports exists to ‘break down barriers; making watersports accessible for all’. We strive to make it possible for everyone in the community to join in a range of watersports and water related activities in the beautiful and historic Bristol City Docks. This includes people with physical, emotional or cognitive disabilities or those who would otherwise, for whatever reason, feel that there were barriers to their participation.

Rocking the Boat is an intergenerational boat building project which is free of charge. The project brings together small groups, a minimum of 6 and maximum of 8 people, spanning all ages to work closely with our friendly, highly skilled experts to build two brand new boats from scratch. After eight consecutive weeks of working one day a week the project culminates with the launch of your vessel’s maiden voyage on the historic Bristol Harbour.

The great thing about Rocking the Boat is that no experience is necessary. If participants want to get stuck in with a hands-on role but have never done anything like this before, it’s no problem at all. If you love the idea of the project but don’t fancy the practical side of things, that’s great. We need people for the essential but non-practical elements of the project, such as documenting the build for our digital scrapbook. No matter what you want to do, you’re welcome.

It’s not all work and no play, though. The weekly sessions are split into two, with half the day spent working on the boat, and the other half doing whatever maritime activity takes your fancy. The group as a whole collaboratively chooses from a maritime activity ranging from sailing or gig rowing, to kayaking.

CDOP Strategy and CoordinationDelivered by: Linkage NetworkLinkAge Network works with people aged 55+ to create lasting solutions to reduce social isolation and loneliness, improve health and well-being and strengthen communities. The organisation is Bristol-based but it can work across the west of England.

The project works with communities to:

1. Encourage new activities from organisations or groups of older people. the CDCs identify gaps for older adults and work with existing assets to generate activity to fill those gaps. Gaps may be in a geographical area or with a community of interest or identity. For instance, LinkAge Network are currently working in Clifton and Speedwell.

2. Connect and network existing groups. The CDCs are bringing together interested paid workers, volunteers and active residents in local gatherings to discuss local community development. There is a gathering in the north, south and east of Bristol.

3. Support and champion asset based approaches; for instance LinkAge Network are working with BAB to commission asset based training in relation to the BAB at risk groups.

4. Coordinate and share intelligence, evidence of need and lessons learned across partners: for instance, LinkAge Network are working with BAB to run ‘share and learn’ sessions for BAB-funded community development project workers.

5. Horizon Scan for funding opportunities and coordinate collaborative bids: for instance, the LinkAge Network Fundraising Manger can run trainings for small groups about how to generate resources, including funds, sponsorship, practical assets.

Learning and Evaluation The BAB programme, along with the 13 other areas funded as part of the Nation-al Lottery Community Fund’s Ageing Better: Fulfilling Lives programme, uses a Test and Learn approach. This means that the BAB programme is an opportunity to test a range of ideas within a city, analyse and learn from these projects before improving and repeating the process. As such, learning and evaluation play a central role in all of our projects.

The University of West England (UWE) lead the evaluation of the BAB programme, along with a dedicated team of Community Researchers who are themselves all older volunteers. UWE and the Community Researchers collect evidence about each of the projects and evaluate their effect on older people as individuals but also on the city of Bristol itself. They co-produce evaluation reports, deliver presentations and play an active role in the BAB programme.

In addition to evaluation, we also have a specific focus on learning. We encourage our projects to continuously apply the Test and Learn approach, trying new ways of working and reflecting on what they have learnt. Our Learning & Monitoring Officer collects and shares this learning within the BAB programme so that our projects can immediately benefit from this knowledge and make improvements during the course of their project delivery. Learning is also shared with other stakeholders in Bristol and throughout England in order to improve services for older people on a wider scale.

Our evaluation and learning both feed into the national evaluation being undertak-en by the National Lottery Community Fund and Ecorys, which aims to improve the existing evidence base regarding what works to reduce older people’s loneliness and isolation and thereby improve services for older people in the future.

All of our evaluation and learning can be found on the Bristol Ageing Better website.
