In 2001 Entelechy was commissioned by The Greater London Authority Cultural Strategy group to consult with Older Londoners about their views on and experiences of 'culture', as participants and consumers.

A consultation group was drawn from Entelechy's existing network of older people in Southwark and Lewisham.

The consultation took the form of:

• Interviews with individuals and groups
• Questionnaires for individuals and groups

and included:

• One to one documented conversations, interviews and questionnaires with more than fifty older people in a range of informal settings
• Five facilitated group discussions with older people in a diverse range of cultural and social settings
• Five interviews with older leaders engaged in cultural activities
• Identifying and visiting three models of existing 'best practice'
