Project

Cherish Investigator Led Proposal - demonstrating impact in housing, health and social care

Funded by Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.

Collaboration with Swansea University.

The impact sought is a change in the way housing an ageing population is considered and the use/adoption of an age friendly housing prototype by the construction industry and older people themselves.

Measurable outputs include:

  1. a housing prototype used by the construction industry, and older people themselves.
  2. a prototype of the digital Serious Game app for roll-out across the UK
  3. a digital publication which outlines the findings of the Serous Game workshops and which provides guidance on how the housing sector can develop housing models to support an ageing population
