News about us

Helpers Required for Research
Help and Care is currently undertaking some exciting research with Bournemouth University.

• We are looking to research what older people (specifically those who pay for their own care) need from local support services.
• We are looking for people who are passionate about this issue to get involved with the research by either taking part in a small focus group and/or sitting down with the lead researcher for an informal chat about the topic.
• The results of the research will be used by Help and Care to formulate and introduce a new support service which will help older people who pay for their own care to enhance their outcomes.
• By taking part you will be making a valuable contribution to local community!

If you are interested in getting involved, or want to find out more about the research, please contact Richard Aylmore – Lead Researcher on 0300 111 3303 or e-mail him at: richard.aylmore@helpandcare.org.uk
