In response to an increasing body of research evidence pointing out that the specific needs of older men are largely ignored in current services for older people, Age Concern England’s Research & Development Unit commissioned a review to look at Age Concerns’ existing practice and experience in addressing the specific needs of older men, particularly those who are socially isolated. The report ‘Working with Older Men – A Review of Age Concern Services’ identified several local Age Concerns which are developing practical responses to meeting the needs, interests and preferences of older men, as well as many Age Concerns who are aware that their services and activities aren’t attracting many older men, and are considering how best to more effectively address their specific needs and interests.
