The focus of the report is ageing well in Leeds. It explores how healthy people, places, and communities all contribute to living and ageing well in Leeds.
Leeds is a wonderful place to age well. Our many strengths include:
- a longstanding commitment to be Age Friendly; with Leeds being recognised nationally as an example of good practice for this work and one of three places to hold a strategic partnership with the Centre for Ageing Better to further test and apply ‘what works’ to make Leeds a better place to age;
- an increasingly diverse ageing population;
- places and spaces that enable people to live healthy, fulfilling and independent lives;
a thriving voluntary sector and communities which support social interaction; - some fantastic activities and services to help people to stay healthy;
- support for people to manage long term health conditions and stay connected and independent in later life.
