What’s it like to grow older in Kirklees?

We’ve just published the Director of Public Health’s 2017-18 Annual Report on Ageing Well in Kirklees. It uses local data to paint a picture of ageing in Kirklees, focusing on those over 50. It looks at how people are feeling, the issues they face and some of ways they are being supported locally by a whole range of people, communities and activities. It covers a range of themes from mental health to mobility, volunteering to isolation and highlights the importance of a life-course approach. You can find the report here.
