The reality of the future will mean that we have to be more creative and holistic in the way in which we support older people in our communities. This thinkpiece reminds us that older people are citizens who are at the centre of our communities and it sets out a model of mutuality, reciprocity and an understanding of the value and contribution of older people to society. This model gives us a fresh way of viewing our communities and unlocks the valuable resources within them. Unlocking the Community is a very timely thinkpiece from the ILC.
