Dorset POPP – fulfilling the needs, desires and aspirations of older people
Its vision is ‘to build supportive communities to enable older people to remain living in their own homes for as long as they wish' by developing responsive and appropriate services and activities at a localised level. That's a sweeping ambition - but in its first three years of life, POPP has already made huge strides towards achieving that goal.
The Dorset Partnership for Older People Programme (POPP) is an excellent example of a multipartnership initiative that has successfully achieved engagement on a huge scale and empowered older people to become involved in identifying and shaping services and activities to improve their own health and address their wellbeing needs.
You can read more about the empowerment of older people in the South West in Engagement and Empowerment Report 4 - Older People. You will find this in the Empowering Communities Reports section of our Empowering Communities downloads.
