Conclusion• Active ageing is not just an individual physical pursuit, but
socially located and shared. • Autonomy and independence - confirmed the extent of
social isolation among older people in disadvantaged neighbourhoods, the importance of social interdependence, and the impact of the lifetime experience of disadvantage on the psychology and skills of older people.
• The importance of place and locality in older people’s sense of identity and opportunity for social involvement.
• The NDA programme provided an opportunity to participate in broader discussions about the changing dynamics of ageing, different research methods, and policy implications.
