Testimonials
“Design is useless without co-design, the ethos we use at The Institute of Ageing and Health is that there should be “nothing about us, without us”. This project is a good example of what the Institute is trying to achieve.”
Prof. James EdwardsonIAHProfessor of Neuroendocrinology
“The Voice North Team is a group of people across a range of ages that can prove a vital resource for projects such as this. The North East is one of the most rapidly ageing regions in the country and this project is a great example of how a North East company can benefit from designing with older people in mind.”
Mike MorganIAHBusiness Development Manager
“From my point of view bringing in the Estates department was a great move; they were really surprised that we wanted to include their views in the design process but by working together at
this initial stage we have a product that works for everyone. All of those involved in the consultation want the product to succeed so some of the barriers I’d thought we’d face have been
lifted.”Helen SandfordIAH
