The Live Longer Better Revolution continues to gather pace and we were delighted to have over 250 colleagues register to attend our latest national event, Reducing the need for Health and Social Care – How Live Longer Better can do it! Colleagues attending represented a variety of sectors including health, Age UK, housing, local government, Age UK and leisure providers.
The programme included some excellent speakers, presenting the latest national research as well as some local examples of how organisations are supporting people to become more active and live longer better. The event reinforced the power of how working cohesively together, we can be united in our mission to drive on the Live Longer Better revolution!
