independent
2. In Practice
How it works Could we add age uk
• Locally driven and organised iow logo here, may be
• National “rulebook” and credit bank; map of iow and
recording of time given (ie bank something reflecting
function) national rollout
• Partnerships with local organisations
to deliver care
• Kick off with “quantitative easing”
Pilot
• Prototype and pilotting in Isle of Wight
in first half of 2012 with Age UK, Isle of
Wight (91 members, 2000 hours

3. Care4Care in Practice
Impact:
• 10% of the population will be
caregiving at any one time
• Supporting three times as many older
people as are currently supported by
care from the state
• Filling a gap which State is retreating
from (and demography means is too
large to fill)
• About interaction/ lower level need/
prevention/ quality of life
