Helping older people engage with benefits and services: an evaluation of the Partnership Fund
This report presents the findings of the evaluation of the Pension Service Partnership Fund that aimed to examine the implementation, delivery and outcomes of the Fund, and contribute to a better understanding of ‘good practice’ in providing services for older people. The research was conducted by the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) and commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
The Partnership Fund formed part of the Government’s strategy to tackle pensioner poverty by ensuring that pensioners claim the benefits they are entitled to and
access the services they require. It aimed to develop cohesive networks of services for older people by encouraging joint working between partners and financed a diverse range of local and national organisations to undertake individual projects to improve the take-up of benefits, giving particular attention to the ‘hard-toreach’.
