The Ageing in Place Pathfinder

The Ageing in Place Pathfinder is a complex whole system public health intervention focussed on the role of place across the life course with an emphasis on later life.  It has three key objectives: 1, Make strategy context specific 2; enable intersectional collaboration and action with 3; ensure leading participation of older residents.

It has a theory of change based on the WHO Commission for Social Determinants of Health (WHO CSDH) responding to the Diderichsen conceptual model through multiple implementation iterations across a range of urban and social contexts. 

Intervention activities designed to enable the programme objectives are based on the co-produced multi-stakeholder resident led partnership approach developed across the Manchester Age Friendly Neighbourhoods project(s).  It explores implementation of this approach at scale and at ‘arms-length’ through the agency of 9 ‘Pathfinders’ – anchor institutions who are developing roles similar to MSA in the delivery of MAFN with some central support from the GMCA Ageing Hub team.

This is a coordinated attempt to design, implement and evaluate a programme providing the systemic structures required to enable a co-produced place-based partnership programme for ageing in place to be scaled and sustained across all deprived neighbourhoods in Greater Manchester.
