Who We Are
BAB is a partnership of individuals and organisations working together to reduce isolation and loneliness among older people in Bristol.
As people get older and retire, they are more likely to spend more of their time in their homes or immediate neighbourhood. It is therefore important for these neighbourhoods to be vibrant places with a wide range of social and cultural activities and opportunities for engagement.
In areas where this currently does not exist, community development is an important process where community members come together to take collective action and generate solutions to common problems.
We commissioned community development projects across a spread of Bristol locations, within care home communities and also aimed a project specifically at engaging Bristol's older LGBT+ community.

BAB is funded by the National Lottery Community Fund to develop and deliver a programme that identifies the best ways of reducing the isolation and loneliness of older people.
There are a number of different ways that we collect evidence about our projects to help us evaluate our impact on older people.
