Making a Difference is a research project investigating the importance of creativity in later life and is specifically looking at playfulness and ageing. It is a collaborative project with researchers based in universities in Australia and UK.
The project was awarded seed funding from OPAN for a research development group, which includes professionals involved with care provision for the elderly, occupational therapists, charities and academics. This project has been successful in gaining funding for a PhD student who is working with Cathy on the project in collaboration with Gwalia Cyf, one of the largest providers of care for the elderly in Wales.
