Ageing in Place Pathfinder GM Report
Healthy Me Healthy communities’ partnership with Southway Housing Trust to deliver services in line with the The Greater Manchester Ageing in Place Pathfinder demonstrates our commitment to tackle inequalities in ageing. Working alongside partners across GM neighbourhoods, the Pathfinder is delivering community-led responses of everyday support for residents aged 50 plus. In celebration of two years of partnership working, the ‘Ageing in Place Pathfinder GM Report’ Shares case studies and the importance of space and place for creating age-friendly communities.
Gorton Central: An Age-friendly Space
Healthy Me Healthy Communities was commissioned by Southway Housing Trust to lead on age-friendly activities for the residents of Abbey-Hey and Gorton. Extensive community consultation concluded a lack of age-friendly spaces and social activities for older residents of Abbey Hey. The location of Gorton Central, adjacent to Southway Housing Trust’s new over older people supported accommodation complex, meant that the community centre was strategically positioned to deliver a variety of neighbourhood projects.
