Newham Council is launching its first Ageing Well Strategy to improve the health and wellbeing of residents aged 50+ and reduce health inequalities.
Through engagement with Newham residents, different council teams and local health and community organisations, five priority areas have been identified and an action plan developed for each. These plans will ensure the council and its partners deliver meaningful changes to make Newham a place where all residents aged 50+ can be healthy and age well.
To mark the launch of the Strategy, residents are invited to a series of events to find out about services and activities to help you age well; and get involved in shaping services.
