Lizzie has developed partnership projects with Age UK Brighton & Hove, working closely with Dr Beatrice Gahagan, senior manager at Age UK Brighton & Hove. The partnership has undertaken research on older people and alcohol use and is currently working on a project about older people and well-being. This is a participatory project and involves working with a team of older co-researchers who are Age UK Brighton & Hove volunteers. Together she and the editors developed the research design and are carrying out the research over the next two years. Dr Nicki Ward is a Lecturer at the School of Social Policy, Institute of Applied Social Studies at the University of Birmingham. Her role now, as a social work lecturer, enables her to combine her interests in social work, social care and social justice.
