Lots of government information
And while I’m at it, have you looked at Datagov? This website gives you access to government datasets available on the internet. If you look at ‘data’, you can search for whatever you might be looking for or click on one of the items from the data cloud; lots of interesting stuff on older people for example. ‘Applications’ links you to search sites. I found myself often ending up on the Data4NR site, which has loads of stuff on local communities and social information.
