The document discusses community outreach programs at the British Museum, particularly those working with older adults. It notes that several local areas in the London Borough of Camden are among the most deprived in England. The discussion points raise questions about how outreach is initiated and planned, how it is financed, and the benefits of such programs. Examples of outreach programs mentioned include work with the Camden Chinese Community Centre and afternoon programs at the museum for those over 55. Key points are listed for successful outreach, including honesty, ethics, dialogue, respect, and tailoring programs to engage audiences while not focusing only on the past.
