Upstream is also a key pilot for Devon's successful bid to the Department of Work and Pensions under the Link Age Plus programme, worth nearly £1 million to Devon over two years (2006/08). Link Age Plus is modelled on the Social Exclusion Unit's Report, ‘A Sure Start to Later Life' and will ensure that all older people, whatever their circumstances, will have equal access to information and advice. Upstream mentors are showing the way to help more isolated people have access to, and make best use of, available information.
