BCP Age Friendly Communities, in partnership with Bournemouth University, are bringing together researchers, practitioners, and community organisations for an event focused on connecting research with real-world practice.
This event offers a valuable opportunity to share, learn, and collaborate around research involving older people. It will be designed to spark conversation and attendees will have the chance to connect with community organisations and networks supporting older people across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, building relationships that can lead to meaningful collaborations, inclusive involvement opportunities, and future research partnerships.
If you are a researcher, or a practitioner keen to connect with research that reflects lived experience, this is an ideal opportunity to be part of the conversation.
Join us to exchange ideas, build connections, and help shape more age-friendly communities across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole!!

See you there!
