Devon County Council was one of eight local authorities to pilot a new national Government initiative to tackle social exclusion among people aged 50 plus, particularly those who were "harder to reach" such as frailer people and people from minority communities. Funded by the Department for Work and Pensions, Link Age Plus was modelled on the Social Exclusion Unit's report 'A Sure Start to Later Life'.
