Exposure to stories of resilience, identity, and heritage supported posttive mental health outcomes, including increased confiden, reduced feelings of marginalisation, and a stronger sense of belonging. The shared experien encouraged discussion, peer wnnection, and critical engagement, strengthening social bonds and collective understanding. Measurable outcomes included.. increased confidence in accessing cultural venues independently; improved self-reported wellbeing and mood following the visits; strengthened social connections as evidenced by continued peer engagement; and increased participation in cultural activity beyond the project.

At the time of joining, she had limrted contact with her family and felt unable to rely on them for emotional or practical support. Her isolation and low confidence had a direct impact on her health decisions, including repeatedly postponing essential medical treatmenl due to fears about coping alone and not having care in place. Through regular engagement with the peer SUPPOrt group. Lady B accessed a safe, non-judgemental space where she was able to share her experiences, reflect on her situation, and receive encouragement from vrnen with similar INed experiences. With the support of the group and facilitators, she was supported to rebuild confiden, explore her feelings around family relationships, and take steps towards re-establishing positive communication with her relatNes. As a result of this ongoing peer and emotiop.al support, Lady B successfully reconnected with her family, made amends, and developed more posrtive and supportive relationships. This strengthened family network reduced her sense of isolation and improved her emotional wellbeing. Crucially, having renewed famity support in place enabled Lady B to feel confident and reassured about hef care needs, leading her to make the decision to proceed with long-delayed medical treatment. This case study demonstrates the vital role that peer-led, culturally sensitive support plays in addressing isolation, improving mental wellbeing, and enabling posrtive health outcomes for older women experiencing multiple disadvantages.
