Situation

According to the Adults & Older People's JSNA, life expectancy at birth in Manchester is lower than for the North West & England, with residents spending a greater proportion of their lives in ill health. Many factors are implicated in lower life expectancy including: diet & exercise, stress, smoking & alcohol consumption. Healthy life expectancy was 56 years for Males & 54 for Females in 2012-14, indicating that poor health is likely to begin well before retirement - well below the UK average

Solution

We want to encourage older adults to adopt healthy lifestyle habits that will support them in maintaining their health throughout their lives - even into retirement - before it is too late for them. This project aims to develop, promote & deliver classes, workshops and online content, partnering with other local strategies and joined up thinking.
