The Partnerships for Older People Projects (Popp) initiative was funded by the Department of Health to develop services for older people to promote their health, well-being and independence, and prevent or delay their need for institutional care. Twenty-nine councils in England were involved as sites for the pilots, which ran from 2006 to 2009. This article reviews the National Evaluation of Popp which suggests nearly all projects are cost effective, while there was particular success with the provision of practical help.
