Project Themes
Peoplehood is focused on 5 themes:
Designing Age Friendly Homes
We’ll host a short meeting near you to ask participants what you all want and need in your home to make it age friendly and looking beautiful! We’ll update Blackwood homes, recommend solutions for local homeowners, and improve all our new home designs. By taking part, you’ll make your life easier and other people’s too.
As part of these theme, you can get involved with our Retrofit programme.
Supporting Social Connections
Peoplehood makes neighbourhoods work better together. Using your feedback, we can organise whatever’s needed to help make things happen – classes, skills volunteering projects and much more. When it comes to digital, we’ll give you FREE tablet and support to help you get online safely and easily.
To support others in your neighbourhood you can join our Volunteering programme.
Sustaining Physical Activity
Physical activity helps improve your health, your friendships, even your mood. Peoplehood works by complementing the opportunities already in your neighbourhood by organising new ways for people to get active. From gardening groups to dancing fitness classes, we’ll help get you on your feet doing things you love.

Creating healthy & active places
We’ll take exciting steps to make your neighbourhood a more inspiring, beautiful and safe space. Surrounded by inviting places to go, everyone’s more motivated to get out and about. We’ll also provide electric bikes, electric cars, and easy ways to help you access them and get out and about.

Managing the Common Complaints of Ageing
At Peoplehood we can bring you the latest solutions to keep you safe and well. If you’re not up at your usual time, for example, we’ll phone to check you’re okay. We’ll take care of all the technology, so you don’t need to worry about a thing. By reducing your need for carer visits, you can stay independent for longer.
You can currently get involved without Lifestyle Alert System trial programme.
