Ageing in Places
Exploring social infrastructure that enables Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities to age in place
This project sought to understand how BAME-led organisations
within Leicester city (Belgrave, Spinney Hills and Wycliffe
local authority wards) engage with members from their
communities and how this might have changed over time. It also
explored how individuals from BAME communities use places,
organisations and services for social contact and interaction.*
