Welcome to the Knowsley POPPs Project Website! |
|
The Partnership for Older People Projects (POPP's) initiative was launched by the Department of Health in March 2005 to develop innovative pilots to help older people avoid emergency hospital visits and to live independently for longer.
The Knowsley project supports the development of services that engage, enable and empower older people within a framework of partnerships between Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council, Social Services, Knowsley PCT, and voluntary and independent sectors.
This is the new web portal for Knowsley's POPPs, providing information about our project and its partners. It also hosts information about the services and activities provided by agencies and groups working in the Borough. You can search for organisations using the Find an Organisation facility or you can click on the menu to browse 'services'.

Introduction to Knowsley POPPs |
The POPPs projects are a group of 29 pilot sites across England, provided with funding from the Department of Health to pilot innovative projects and ways of working for older people (55+), with a focus on prevention. Knowsley was successful in a bid to secure £1.2m over two years to fund four projects.
The four projects within the Knowsley POPPs are split into two workstreams.
