Over-60s now make up around 15 million people in the UK and will continue growing significantly. While generations are becoming more digitally engaged over time, many over-75s remain offline due to barriers like lack of understanding of benefits, concerns over security, and preference for familiar routines. However, initiatives like Age UK's Down Memory Lane project show that focusing training on interests like reminiscence and using tablets can help older people gain confidence and skills while bringing social benefits. More support is still needed to address cost and resource barriers to digital inclusion as technology continues advancing.Tackling Social Exclusion through Digital Inclusion | Leela Damodaran | Ap...

This document summarizes interim findings from a project collecting data on loneliness among older people participating in activities through local Age UK organizations. Based on initial data from four local partners: nearly all participants reported feeling lonely before the intervention, with over half feeling often lonely; after the activities, feelings of loneliness decreased significantly with most feeling only somewhat lonely or hardly lonely. Preliminary analysis found a statistically significant reduction in loneliness scores after the interventions. The activities, primarily befriending services and social activities, seem to be effectively alleviating loneliness among older people.Siobhan Sweeney
