mPower
mPower is five-year project supported by the European Union’s INTERREG VA Programme, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB). It will create a cross-border service for older people (age 65+) living with long-term conditions across Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
From late 2017 to December 2021, mPower will work with communities to enable people to take the steps needed to live well, safely and independently in their own homes by self-managing their own health and care in the community.
Community Navigators will be employed to work with people referred from health and care services to develop wellbeing plans connecting them to activities in their community as well connecting them to technology to enhance support for health and wellbeing.
