Many older people in the UK live in rural communities.
There are places where people are developing cities that work well for older people.
Rural Wisdom is a project to develop rural communities that are older people friendly.
The project started in early 2017, since then we have been busy working with communities in Scotland and Wales to support community action by older people.
Keep up with what's happening on our local area pages, via our blog and by signing up to the Rural Wisdom newsletter.
“The Rural Wisdom project will ensure that older people in both Scotland and Wales will have their voices heard about things which matter most to them.
It is a great example of how National Lottery funding can make a real difference to people’s lives and specifically the lives of older people living in rural communities.
I am sure that it will bring many benefits to those involved, including boosting confidence and skills and empowering older people to participate in and shape activities within their local areas.”
