the uno bus scheme in Hertfordshire
– Car sharing schemes – a working model in the USA
 Available space
– Housing built for ‘yuppies’ – very age friendly!
– Vacant spaces for groups to meet

Social responsibilities
 Some good schemes already in place – e.g.
dementia friendly retail
 Retail is a changing landscape
 All high street players have a responsibility to
put something back in towards an age-ready
community – even if it’s an untraditional role for
the company

housebound ends your
involvement with your
community
 Ban the older people crossing
road sign
 Getting the unusual suspects
involved
 Activities for older people

Improving Later Life.
Services for older people:
What works
Susan Davidson, PhD
Research Adviser
Age UK
Purpose and aims
For developers,
providers, commissioners,
and funders of services for
older people.
What research tells us
‘what works’ about services
for older people.
Short summaries in lay
languages, with further
reading noted.
Authors
Foreword: The Lord Filkin, CBE
Introduction: Sandie Keene, President of the Association of
Directors of Adult Social Services
Author recruitment:
• Age UK sources and contacts
• National Institute for Health Research’s School for Social
Care Research
• New Dynamics of Ageing Programme
Short summaries on what works
• Service cost-effectiveness
• Integrating health and care
• Dignity
• Safeguarding
• Assessment
• Carers
• Personal budgets
• Loneliness and social isolation
• Telehealth
• Older men
• Rural communities
• Housing
• Falls
• Dementia
Seven overarching messages
1. Service design and delivery should be based on what
older people say they want and need.
2. Carers play a vital to the success and sustainability of
interventions.
3. There should be thorough and regular assessments of
the needs of both older service users and their carers.
4. Service design should incorporate from the start a
robust evaluation system and a broad and long-term
view of likely costs, cost savings and sustainability.
Seven overarching messages
5. Benefits for older people and carers are likely to go
beyond the narrow focus of a particular service.
Service providers should value -- and make use of -
opportunities for additional benefits.
6. Completion of tasks should not be the only criterion by
which a service is judged. For example, social
interaction is often valued as highly by older people.
7. Some services are suited to all potential users, but
thought should be given to suitability for specific groups
such as older men.

Neighbourhood approaches to loneliness
The tale of two cities
WHAT Loneliness is….
• A mismatch of the relationships we have and those we want
• An internal trigger telling us to seek company as thirst tells us
to drink and hunger tells us to eat and tiredness tells us to
sleep
• Loneliness describes the pain of being alone as solitude
describes the joy of being alone
• Isolation is often where there is no choice but to be alone
• Some people seek solitude, but few choose to be lonely,
primarily because it isn’t good for us
Loneliness and social Isolation
• People experiencing isolation require practical help and
resources (such as transport provision).
• People experiencing loneliness require social support and
extended social networks, (e.g. befriending, networking, friends)
There are also different types of loneliness which again may require
different interventions: emotional loneliness and social loneliness.
• Emotional loneliness is the absence of a significant other with
whom a close attachment is formed (a partner or close friend).
• Social loneliness is the lack of a wider social network of friends,
neighbours or colleagues
• We need to tailor our response to the needs of the individual
Emotional and Social Loneliness
WHY LONELINESS
• Addressing Loneliness and Isolation it will result
in stronger communities in which members of all
ages play a greater role
• Addressing it will improve and result in stronger
partnership working and a more holistic
approach
• Reducing loneliness and isolation will help to
address health inequalities
WHY LONELINESS
• An increase in Loneliness = an increases the use
of expensive health and social care services
• Demographic change could increase the problem
• Reducing loneliness and isolation will contribute to
peoples well being thus achieving a number of
health and wellbeing board priorities
• Loneliness has an effect on mortality - twice as likely to
die prematurely
• It is also associated with poor mental health and, more
surprisingly, with conditions such as cardiovascular
disease, hypertension and dementia
• “Loneliness is a public health issue that should be
tackled urgently, There are links with early death. The
risk factor is similar to smoking and worse than obesity””
Laura Ferguson, Director of the Campaign to End Loneliness.
WHAT: Neighbourhood approaches to loneliness
• Place based approach to loneliness
• Working with people in their neighbourhood to explore what
contributes to feelings of overwhelming/problematic loneliness
• Exploring factors like location, health and wellbeing, safety,
independence, life transitions
• ABCD approach to developing and putting into practice local
ideas and activities to reduce the effects of loneliness
• Making every contact and conversation count
Some of the many PLA tools used
…. to get people talking… to feed back ideas
• Recruited, trained and retained 32 community researchers in
Participatory Learning and Action in all four neighbourhoods
• Community researchers gathered information, undertook outreach
and all fieldwork and analysis and spoke to over 100 stakeholders
• Talking to over 2000 people gathering 7667 individual comments
New Earswick 182 New Earswick 311 493
Carr estate 193 Carr estate 282 475
Bradford Moor 176 Bradford Moor 292 468
Denholme 143 Denholme 304 447

Local people leading the way
Neighbourhood approaches to loneliness
What are the issues affecting people in the four neighbourhoods
• Members of the neighbourhoods came up with over 1000 ideas
to reduce loneliness
• An average of 65 ideas were prioritised in each neighbourhood
and shared with community partners and local stakeholders
• Community researchers in the neighbourhoods have done
planning, negotiation and project management training
• Each neighbourhood has reduced (not easy!) these ideas to 5
priorities which they are now putting into practice
• Community researchers are now activists – sharing the key
messages via 1000 conversations
Turning ideas into actions
Key messages
• Loneliness kills people and communities
• Regulation kills kindness and reduces action
• Lonely people are vulnerable, this is a
safeguarding issue
• Building personal and community confidence
builds resilience
Key messages
• The stepping stones to engagement and
education need to be put back
• There is a real contradiction between
society’s ideals and individual experience
• You can take the ideas out of the process.
You cannot take the process away from the
ideas
Anyone can be lonely, even busy people.
Anyone can reduce loneliness – their own or others
• How do we make every contact count?
• How do we look after the health and wellbeing of our
communities, colleagues and ourselves?
• How do we give the gift of time when we lead such
busy lives?
• How do we resource prevention in hard times?
• How do we ensure that our community assets are
community hubs used to their full potential and open
to all?
• Let’s see how we can all talk about loneliness
Wot…
no time ?
Free online loneliness resource pack
• This resource pack brings together the lessons and experiences from the
programme and includes:
• Living with loneliness? – a four-page summary of the causes of loneliness, with
infographics;
• Let’s talk about loneliness – a four-page summary of ideas and actions to
reduce loneliness, with infographics;
• Neighbourhood approaches to loneliness: our stories – a collection of case
studies from some of the people involved;
• Working with your community to address loneliness – top tips from our external
evaluators;
• Can do – guidance and tips for negotiating community action;
• How you can reduce loneliness in your neighbourhood (the process);
• Let’s talk about loneliness session plans – five one-hour group work sessions
to get you thinking and talking about loneliness.
• Lets talk about loneliness - a short film featuring interviews with the
communities involved in our research
Culture of – You’re on your own
Holistic approach – you’re not alone (we really are all in it together)

Engaging with older people
Benefits of engaging older people
For organisations:
•To ensure their products and services are fit for
purpose.
•To improve relationships with the community
•To demonstrate understanding of older people’s
wants and needs
•To find ways to engage with “difficult to reach”
groups
For older people:
•To be able to have a say in issues that affect them
•To gain an increased sense of purpose, ownership
or usefulness
•To benefit by learning and developing new skills
•Increased confidence and enjoyment of life

Conclusions
Key Considerations:
1. What is the impact of the built environment on
the mental health of older people?
2. Do behavioural change programmes increase
the use of technology in health and social care?
3. How can smart city planners ensure the
development of liveable communities?
4. What are the optimum designs for transport
systems for older people and those with
disabilities?
5. How can we design cities to favour mixed
communities?
6. What are the most effective interventions for
increasing older urban dwellers’ contact with
nature and how does this affect wellbeing?
7. How could street lighting be improved to
optimise vision in older people and those with
visual challenges?
8. What type of accessible walkways would help
increase physical exercise and the social
integration of older people?
9. Could autonomous vehicles solve transport
difficulties experienced by older people?

Trustee Director, Centre for Ageing Better
2013 the BIG Lottery Fund approved the investment of £50 million to
develop the Centre for Ageing Better.
BIG intends the Centre to be a world-leading hub to apply and promote
evidence of what makes for a better quality of life in older age to help
empower people to stay active, healthier and happier for longer.
The Centre is an entirely independent charity that will work actively
with a wide range of stakeholders to shape its work and make change
happen.
This investment is a unique opportunity to help make a step
improvement in the lives of older people and maximise the benefits of
our ageing society.

Ageing and Health
 Professor Gillian Leng – Deputy Chief Executive NICE
 Helena Herklots – Chief Executive Carers UK
 Michele Acton – Chief Executive Fight for Sight
 Professor Michael Catt – ALERE Research and Development
 Cheryl Coppell – Chief Executive London Borough of

We are in our set up phase….
• The Board submits a business case to BIG to
draw down the £50m in July
• Hopefully BIG approves the submission and
transfers the £50m by the Autumn
• The work really gets underway!!
Enough to prove to BIG we can use the money wisely
Not a level of detail that is inappropriate given the
scale of the task, the thoughtfulness needed to
embark upon it and the stakeholders we need to
consult and engage with on the journey
Hopefully the right balance….
Until we access the full endowment we are working

What is our vision?
‘A society in which we all have a better later life’ .
What is our mission?
“Improving later life through evidence of what
works’.
 Positive
 Person centred
 Rigorous
 Accessible
 Distinctive
 Independent
 Individuals who are empowered and enabled to
maintain their well being in later life;
 Communities that support and are enriched by older
people;
 Services and products that better meet the needs and
aspirations of older people;
 Public attitudes and policies that support and improve
the well being of older people.
Synthesising
Sharing
Seeding
Scaling
 Focus the debate on how we can maximise the benefits of ageing
 Bring evidence into practice, using others to do our research
syntheses.
 Use our strategic position to catalyse others to focus on issues that
matter, to work together to synthesise and generate evidence and
apply it and to commit to bring about change.
 Partner with researchers, funders and organisations to achieve
change.
 The public including older people, their families and carers
 Communities
 Service commissioners and providers
 The voluntary sector & social entrepreneurs
 The private sector
 Policy makers
 Funders
 Other organisations working with and for older people
 Valuing older people
 Preparation and planning for a better later life
 Sustaining activity and independence in later life
 Increasing opportunity and extending working lives
 Local planning and commissioning for better later life
 Maximising community engagement to improve later life
 Stimulating sectors, markets, investment and innovation to
improve later life
 Developing an age sensitive culture and environment
• It’s a huge field and we need to be thoughtful and
take time to get it right as we want to engender long
term change
• We will exemplify a couple of fields of enquiry for
the business case to BIG
• Hopefully become fully operational and fully staffed
• Move on to more detailed and wider engagement
and work once the Centre is fully established
More detailed thoughts on one of
these areas…….
Maximising community engagement
to improve later life
Can be defined as ‘informal and formal action by the community, voluntary or business
sector either with ‘communities of interest’ or at the neighbourhood-level. It can support
healthy ageing by complementing (a) action taken by individuals or their families and (b)
integrated health and social care commissioned by statutory agencies’.
The term ‘community engagement’ is often used loosely and an understanding of ‘what
works ‘ is often muddled and imprecise.
Task is to clarify ‘what works with whom in what circumstances’ in order to
- inform commissioners & increase confidence to invest
- improve outcomes for older people
- reduce demand and cost to statutory bodies
• Older people's definition of well being:
• Social relationships, varyingly expressed as ‘being
connected’, maintaining social contacts, social activity,
‘engagement with the outside world’ and interacting with
others
• Social capital, by which is meant the social resource of
home and neighbourhood, family and friends.
• Keeping active, seen by many as a key concept to wellbeing
• Continuing to adopt the usual deficit model is
unlikely to help
• Adopting an asset based approach could be much
more productive
• As well as building social capital and increased
self determination
1. Preparing for healthy ageing in mid life
2. Creating conditions for independent living
3. Preventing loneliness and inactivity
4. Supporting people with chronic illness including
dementia
5. Reducing preventable hospital admissions
So we need to know …
• What community-level interventions are effective? What is the strength
of evidence / likely impact?
• How easy is it to reach target groups in different types of place?
• How do these interventions deliver their impact? They may be
‘packaged’ differently but what are the common success criteria? What
conditions have to be in place for them to succeed?
• Are they good value for money? Are there some approaches that
impact on 2 or more objectives?
• Could they be incorporated into local systems and replicated at scale?
• What light touch national, regional or local infrastructure is needed to
develop and support them?
……So that the system works as a whole and is simple to
understand, implement and monitor.
It is important to be clear about
• who is responsibility for ensuring the system works well
• what actions need to be taken by whom
• the conditions that need to in place for each intervention
to work
• Village Agents (Gloucestershire)
• Community Connectors (Leeds)
• Care Network (Cambridgeshire)
• Social Prescribing (Birmingham)
• Rural Community Councils (National network)
• Councils for Voluntary Service (National)
One of the new Centre’s role will be to synthesise
‘what works’ knowledge. This should set out how
specific types of community intervention can add
value to action taken by:
individuals and their families and the statutory
agencies so that policy objectives are achieved.
• We need to work with all our stakeholders
for this to be successful
• We need to pick the things that we can do
that will really make a difference
• Please respond to our consultation
document!

  • 34. Improving Later Life. Services for older people: What works Susan Davidson, PhD Research Adviser Age UK
  • 35. Purpose and aims For developers, providers, commissioners, and funders of services for older people. What research tells us ‘what works’ about services for older people. Short summaries in lay languages, with further reading noted.
  • 36. Authors Foreword: The Lord Filkin, CBE Introduction: Sandie Keene, President of the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services Author recruitment: • Age UK sources and contacts • National Institute for Health Research’s School for Social Care Research • New Dynamics of Ageing Programme
  • 37. Short summaries on what works • Service cost-effectiveness • Integrating health and care • Dignity • Safeguarding • Assessment • Carers • Personal budgets • Loneliness and social isolation • Telehealth • Older men • Rural communities • Housing • Falls • Dementia
  • 38. Seven overarching messages 1. Service design and delivery should be based on what older people say they want and need. 2. Carers play a vital to the success and sustainability of interventions. 3. There should be thorough and regular assessments of the needs of both older service users and their carers. 4. Service design should incorporate from the start a robust evaluation system and a broad and long-term view of likely costs, cost savings and sustainability.
  • 39. Seven overarching messages 5. Benefits for older people and carers are likely to go beyond the narrow focus of a particular service. Service providers should value -- and make use of - opportunities for additional benefits. 6. Completion of tasks should not be the only criterion by which a service is judged. For example, social interaction is often valued as highly by older people. 7. Some services are suited to all potential users, but thought should be given to suitability for specific groups such as older men.

  • 50. Tracey Robbins Programme Manager, Neighbourhood approaches to lonliness JRF #communitymatters
  • 51. Neighbourhood approaches to loneliness The tale of two cities
  • 52. WHAT Loneliness is…. • A mismatch of the relationships we have and those we want • An internal trigger telling us to seek company as thirst tells us to drink and hunger tells us to eat and tiredness tells us to sleep • Loneliness describes the pain of being alone as solitude describes the joy of being alone • Isolation is often where there is no choice but to be alone • Some people seek solitude, but few choose to be lonely, primarily because it isn’t good for us
  • 53. Loneliness and social Isolation • People experiencing isolation require practical help and resources (such as transport provision). • People experiencing loneliness require social support and extended social networks, (e.g. befriending, networking, friends) There are also different types of loneliness which again may require different interventions: emotional loneliness and social loneliness. • Emotional loneliness is the absence of a significant other with whom a close attachment is formed (a partner or close friend). • Social loneliness is the lack of a wider social network of friends, neighbours or colleagues • We need to tailor our response to the needs of the individual Emotional and Social Loneliness
  • 54. WHY LONELINESS • Addressing Loneliness and Isolation it will result in stronger communities in which members of all ages play a greater role • Addressing it will improve and result in stronger partnership working and a more holistic approach • Reducing loneliness and isolation will help to address health inequalities
  • 55. WHY LONELINESS • An increase in Loneliness = an increases the use of expensive health and social care services • Demographic change could increase the problem • Reducing loneliness and isolation will contribute to peoples well being thus achieving a number of health and wellbeing board priorities
  • 56. • Loneliness has an effect on mortality - twice as likely to die prematurely • It is also associated with poor mental health and, more surprisingly, with conditions such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension and dementia • “Loneliness is a public health issue that should be tackled urgently, There are links with early death. The risk factor is similar to smoking and worse than obesity”” Laura Ferguson, Director of the Campaign to End Loneliness.
  • 57. WHAT: Neighbourhood approaches to loneliness • Place based approach to loneliness • Working with people in their neighbourhood to explore what contributes to feelings of overwhelming/problematic loneliness • Exploring factors like location, health and wellbeing, safety, independence, life transitions • ABCD approach to developing and putting into practice local ideas and activities to reduce the effects of loneliness • Making every contact and conversation count
  • 58. Some of the many PLA tools used …. to get people talking… to feed back ideas
  • 59. • Recruited, trained and retained 32 community researchers in Participatory Learning and Action in all four neighbourhoods • Community researchers gathered information, undertook outreach and all fieldwork and analysis and spoke to over 100 stakeholders • Talking to over 2000 people gathering 7667 individual comments New Earswick 182 New Earswick 311 493 Carr estate 193 Carr estate 282 475 Bradford Moor 176 Bradford Moor 292 468 Denholme 143 Denholme 304 447 694 1189 1883 Local people leading the way
  • 61. What are the issues affecting people in the four neighbourhoods
  • 62. • Members of the neighbourhoods came up with over 1000 ideas to reduce loneliness • An average of 65 ideas were prioritised in each neighbourhood and shared with community partners and local stakeholders • Community researchers in the neighbourhoods have done planning, negotiation and project management training • Each neighbourhood has reduced (not easy!) these ideas to 5 priorities which they are now putting into practice • Community researchers are now activists – sharing the key messages via 1000 conversations Turning ideas into actions
  • 63. Key messages • Loneliness kills people and communities • Regulation kills kindness and reduces action • Lonely people are vulnerable, this is a safeguarding issue • Building personal and community confidence builds resilience
  • 64. Key messages • The stepping stones to engagement and education need to be put back • There is a real contradiction between society’s ideals and individual experience • You can take the ideas out of the process. You cannot take the process away from the ideas
  • 65. Anyone can be lonely, even busy people. Anyone can reduce loneliness – their own or others • How do we make every contact count? • How do we look after the health and wellbeing of our communities, colleagues and ourselves? • How do we give the gift of time when we lead such busy lives? • How do we resource prevention in hard times? • How do we ensure that our community assets are community hubs used to their full potential and open to all? • Let’s see how we can all talk about loneliness Wot… no time ?
  • 66. Free online loneliness resource pack • This resource pack brings together the lessons and experiences from the programme and includes: • Living with loneliness? – a four-page summary of the causes of loneliness, with infographics; • Let’s talk about loneliness – a four-page summary of ideas and actions to reduce loneliness, with infographics; • Neighbourhood approaches to loneliness: our stories – a collection of case studies from some of the people involved; • Working with your community to address loneliness – top tips from our external evaluators; • Can do – guidance and tips for negotiating community action; • How you can reduce loneliness in your neighbourhood (the process); • Let’s talk about loneliness session plans – five one-hour group work sessions to get you thinking and talking about loneliness. • Lets talk about loneliness - a short film featuring interviews with the communities involved in our research
  • 67. Culture of – You’re on your own Holistic approach – you’re not alone (we really are all in it together)

  • 139. 2013 the BIG Lottery Fund approved the investment of £50 million to develop the Centre for Ageing Better. BIG intends the Centre to be a world-leading hub to apply and promote evidence of what makes for a better quality of life in older age to help empower people to stay active, healthier and happier for longer. The Centre is an entirely independent charity that will work actively with a wide range of stakeholders to shape its work and make change happen. This investment is a unique opportunity to help make a step improvement in the lives of older people and maximise the benefits of our ageing society.

  • 141. We are in our set up phase…. • The Board submits a business case to BIG to draw down the £50m in July • Hopefully BIG approves the submission and transfers the £50m by the Autumn • The work really gets underway!!
  • 142. Enough to prove to BIG we can use the money wisely Not a level of detail that is inappropriate given the scale of the task, the thoughtfulness needed to embark upon it and the stakeholders we need to consult and engage with on the journey Hopefully the right balance….
  • 143. Until we access the full endowment we are working on initial set up funding A skeleton staff – including one very hard working Interim CE The knowledge we can garner from consultation and engagement with our stakeholders The knowledge and expertise of our Board
  • 144. Consultation paper issued to 180 organisations. Feedback welcomed to the questions raised on no more than 2 sides of A4. Please respond to sara.coakley@agebetter.org.uk By 30th April 2014. Paper can be accessed at: www.centreforageingbetter.com
  • 145. What is our vision? ‘A society in which we all have a better later life’ . What is our mission? “Improving later life through evidence of what works’.
  • 146.  Positive  Person centred  Rigorous  Accessible  Distinctive  Independent
  • 147.  Individuals who are empowered and enabled to maintain their well being in later life;  Communities that support and are enriched by older people;  Services and products that better meet the needs and aspirations of older people;  Public attitudes and policies that support and improve the well being of older people.
  • 149.  Focus the debate on how we can maximise the benefits of ageing  Bring evidence into practice, using others to do our research syntheses.  Use our strategic position to catalyse others to focus on issues that matter, to work together to synthesise and generate evidence and apply it and to commit to bring about change.  Partner with researchers, funders and organisations to achieve change.
  • 150.  The public including older people, their families and carers  Communities  Service commissioners and providers  The voluntary sector & social entrepreneurs  The private sector  Policy makers  Funders  Other organisations working with and for older people
  • 151.  Valuing older people  Preparation and planning for a better later life  Sustaining activity and independence in later life  Increasing opportunity and extending working lives  Local planning and commissioning for better later life  Maximising community engagement to improve later life  Stimulating sectors, markets, investment and innovation to improve later life  Developing an age sensitive culture and environment
  • 152. • It’s a huge field and we need to be thoughtful and take time to get it right as we want to engender long term change • We will exemplify a couple of fields of enquiry for the business case to BIG • Hopefully become fully operational and fully staffed • Move on to more detailed and wider engagement and work once the Centre is fully established
  • 153. More detailed thoughts on one of these areas……. Maximising community engagement to improve later life
  • 154. Can be defined as ‘informal and formal action by the community, voluntary or business sector either with ‘communities of interest’ or at the neighbourhood-level. It can support healthy ageing by complementing (a) action taken by individuals or their families and (b) integrated health and social care commissioned by statutory agencies’. The term ‘community engagement’ is often used loosely and an understanding of ‘what works ‘ is often muddled and imprecise. Task is to clarify ‘what works with whom in what circumstances’ in order to - inform commissioners & increase confidence to invest - improve outcomes for older people - reduce demand and cost to statutory bodies
  • 155. • Older people's definition of well being: • Social relationships, varyingly expressed as ‘being connected’, maintaining social contacts, social activity, ‘engagement with the outside world’ and interacting with others • Social capital, by which is meant the social resource of home and neighbourhood, family and friends. • Keeping active, seen by many as a key concept to wellbeing
  • 156. • Continuing to adopt the usual deficit model is unlikely to help • Adopting an asset based approach could be much more productive • As well as building social capital and increased self determination
  • 157. 1. Preparing for healthy ageing in mid life 2. Creating conditions for independent living 3. Preventing loneliness and inactivity 4. Supporting people with chronic illness including dementia 5. Reducing preventable hospital admissions So we need to know …
  • 158. • What community-level interventions are effective? What is the strength of evidence / likely impact? • How easy is it to reach target groups in different types of place? • How do these interventions deliver their impact? They may be ‘packaged’ differently but what are the common success criteria? What conditions have to be in place for them to succeed? • Are they good value for money? Are there some approaches that impact on 2 or more objectives? • Could they be incorporated into local systems and replicated at scale? • What light touch national, regional or local infrastructure is needed to develop and support them?
  • 159. ……So that the system works as a whole and is simple to understand, implement and monitor. It is important to be clear about • who is responsibility for ensuring the system works well • what actions need to be taken by whom • the conditions that need to in place for each intervention to work
  • 160. • Village Agents (Gloucestershire) • Community Connectors (Leeds) • Care Network (Cambridgeshire) • Social Prescribing (Birmingham) • Rural Community Councils (National network) • Councils for Voluntary Service (National)
  • 161. One of the new Centre’s role will be to synthesise ‘what works’ knowledge. This should set out how specific types of community intervention can add value to action taken by: individuals and their families and the statutory agencies so that policy objectives are achieved.
  • 162. • We need to work with all our stakeholders for this to be successful • We need to pick the things that we can do that will really make a difference • Please respond to our consultation document!
