SAIL (Staying Active and Independent for Longer) has been a three year EU funded project that utilised a social innovation approach to developed 10 pilots that aimed to support active aging. Four pilots were developed in the Netherlands, 2 in France, 2 in Belgium and 2 within the UK. The role Bournemouth University Team (Prof Ann Hemingway, Prof Adele Ladkin and Dr Holly Crossen-White) was to undertake an evaluation of the pilots and develop a feasibility study regarding the use of social innovation.
Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 the presentation of the findings was postponed in March. The decision has now been taken to have a virtual presentation and if you are interested in hearing more about SAIL please register at SAIL@hz.nl.
