This evaluation is commissioned by a partnership between ourselves and the Centre for Ageing Better. We are working together to use evidence and innovation to explore ways to help people better manage major changes as they age. Read more about our programme Transitions in Later Life. 

This evaluation project is separated into two parts:

• The focus of the contract is on an in-depth evaluation of one employer-based project that aims to improve resilience and better prepare people for the transition into retirement and later life.

• The second part involves five lighter touch evaluations of projects (with a similar aim) in employer and community settings.

This is a unique opportunity to improve the evidence base in an under researched area. 

We have additional documentation that can be supplied to contractors interested in bidding for this work (also listed in the ITT Background section). If you’d like to get a copy please email: [email protected]
