Inside the Barnet housing block only for older women

With residents aged from 58 to 94, New Ground is the UK’s first housing community exclusively for older women. Setting it up was an 18-year battle, but now the purpose-built development is entirely managed by the women who made it possible, as an alternative to living alone.
