Community Research
Ageing in Place-Hackney
BAME community research report
This report is based on BAME community research. It focuses on understanding how BAME-led organisations engage with members from their community and how this might have changed over time. It also explores how individuals from BAME communities use places, organisations and services for social contact and interaction.
The research forms part of a wider Ageing Better programme
set up by National Lottery Community Fund, with the aim of developing creative ways for people aged 50 and over to be actively involved in their local communities, helping to combat isolation and loneliness.
Other areas participating in the wider research were Birmingham, Camden, Leicester and Manchester.

Homelessness among young people is increasing. The impact of homelessness amongst young refugees is more pronounced because they often do not have the knowledge, confidence or support to help them escape a downward spiral that consigns them to poverty.
The aim of this project is to raise awareness on homeless refugees and help their integration into society.
Themes explored include:
• What are the underlying causes of refugee young adult homelessness
• How to intervene early to prevent homelessness amongst refugee young adults
• How to provide support to vulnerable young refugees
• What range of housing options for refugee young people can be provided.
Homeless refugees research is a partnership project between Community Advance Project and Middlesex University.
