The Unlocking Potential Project in partnership with the University of Ulster is carrying out a 2 year longitudinal study with a cohort of 344 people aged 50 years old and over. The project is interested in investigating the relationship between formal volunteering and health and wellbeing. This involves asking participants to complete a series of questions at 4 time points over an 18 month period. The type of questions asked include self reported scales on physical and mental health, social supports, quality of life and attitudes to ageing
 
The first interim report based on information gathered at baseline and 6 month follow-up has now been produced and we would like to share emerging trends and patterns by holding a number of information sessions.
