Over the past few months 20 Sixth Form students have been involved in the “Growing Older” research project with Paul Cann. The project aims to look at how to develop the community in and around Hook Norton, and the possibility of setting up a “Good Neighbour Scheme”. The students interviewed key members in the community and sent out a questionnaire to over 250 households, which was designed by some of the students.

Edward Lewis and Alice Nottingham  accompanied Mr Cann at a meeting with local MP, Victoria Prentis to discuss future plans for the project, including applying for a grant, organising a lift-sharing arrangement and the possibility of setting up a “retired people’s lunch” in a local pub.
