Co-creation with the community to promote healthy ageing and behavioural change within communities

Ageing better with an active mind is an exciting project focused on fundamental health issues confronting our society. This project was created to address the disconnection between national advice on healthy ageing and practice in Lancashire and Merseyside where the elderly population with dementia is higher than the national average.

How is this project addressing this issue?

Our project addresses this issue by promoting behavioural change within communities targeting population older than 60 years old.

This project also includes the collection of data on mental health and the experience of ageing.

Along with University of the third age (u3a)

we will launch three workshops that will feature relevant themes and present new research including neuroscience, brain health, and the active mind.

We are delighted that our "Ageing Well with an Active Mind" project has been shortlisted for an @educatenorth award!
