This year’s report focuses on experiences of ageing well in Leeds and inequalities amongst different groups.
It combines survey responses from over 900 local people with latest data and trends on factors impacting ageing – such as diet, smoking, alcohol intake, mental health, travel, housing, employment and financial wellbeing.
The recommendations in this report build on Leeds’ long-standing commitment to being an Age Friendly City, identifying further actions to increase the number of years spent in good health.
This report and supporting film will be shared and discussed at the Health and Wellbeing Board and various other meetings over the upcoming months.
Forum Central members are welcome to join the Age Friendly Leeds Partnership on Thursday 12 September 13:00-15:00, if you want to hear more about the report and the discussions around actions taking place to progress the recommendations. Please contact [email protected] for an invitation.
Notably, Leeds’ report has been commended as one of the best in-depth single topic submissions nationally by the Association for the Directors of Public Health.
Feedback on the Director of Public Health Annual Report is always welcomed. If you have any comments, please email [email protected].
