Intersectional Stigma of Place-based Ageing (ISPA)

The ISPA project is an ambitious 5-year participatory mixed method study that will explore and understand how the stigma attached to where people live can intersect with experiences of disability and ageing. We aim to develop interventions related to home and environmental modifications which encourage interventions for inclusive approaches that support people to age well within homes and communities across England, Scotland, and Wales.

The project is a collaboration between the University of Stirling and the University of St Andrews, Newcastle University and University of Bristol, Scottish Federation of Housing Associations (SFHA) and the Housing Learning and Improvement Network (LIN). The Housing LIN is proud to host these pages and to support the work of the Inclusive Living Alliance.

The project is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and runs from September 2022 to September 2027.
