It describes the background, the process, implementation and evaluation of the project for 25 adults aged over 65 years who were victims of crime and/or had experienced social isolation. The project achieved significant improvements in the confidence of the participants especially with regard to feelings of safety and security. It is currently being reviewed with a view to expanding the pilot to an additional 200 residents in the area.
