Older Asian women living in the west end

A group of older women of Asian origin came together to talk about what they liked and didn’t like about living in the West End of Newcastle.  This was part of a bigger project to find out what older people in the city think makes a neighbourhood "older person friendly".

This short report presents some of their views in their own words and photographs.

Is Benwell older person friendly?

Report of project to find out older residents' views of what makes a neighbourhood a good place for older people to live in.

During Summer and Autumn of 2006 more than 50 older people took part in discussions about what makes Benwell a good place for older people to live in and what aspects of life in the area are not so good.

The project was led by Search – a locally-managed community-based project working with older people in the west end of Newcastle.
