The Greater Manchester Ageing Hub brings together universities, public and private services, and citizens to improve the lives of residents as we age. Based at the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, we coordinate a strategic response to the opportunities and challenges of an ageing population. Greater Manchester is the UK’s 1st age-friendly city region. Our vision is that older people are able to contribute to and benefit from sustained prosperity and enjoy a good quality of life, and that Greater Manchester becomes the best place in the UK to grow older.
TBC Cllr Brenda Warrington, lead for Ageing Friendly Greater Manchester and Leader of Tameside Council, said; Later life is not too late to make changes. We want to celebrate barriers overcome and lives transformed through radical lifestyle changes.
Between July and September, Sport England is shining a spotlight on one of the five big issues in its Uniting the Movement strategy – a deeper exploration of ‘connecting communities’, and how place-based approaches can bring people together to get active in non-traditional settings and ways. This spotlight offers a timely opportunity to reflect on the work of GM Moving and its long-standing partnership with 10GM — a collaboration of Local Infrastructure Organisations (LIOs) that support Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) groups across Greater Manchester.
We’re thrilled to be part of one of the official Fan Zones in Piccadilly Gardens, bringing people together to celebrate across two exciting match weekends.
A call for evidence on the role of physical activity in improving the health and wellbeing of older people was launched by the Health and Care Select Committee in Westminster.
