Brought to you by CLIC in collaboration with North Cumbria Knowledge and Library Service, this Lunch & Learn session on 17 January 2023 saw Clare Paling (Development Officer at Active Cumbria) deliver a presentation on ‘Live Longer Better in Cumbria: Join the Revolution’.
Lead by Sir Muir Gray, a revolution is underway to enable people to live longer better, reduce the need for health and social care and reverse the effects of lockdown.
The number of people over 80 is going to increase significantly in the next ten years, but our healthy life expectancy is not expected to increase too. This has huge implications for health and social care services. It doesn’t have to be this way. There is strong evidence that the major causes of disability and dependency can be prevented or delayed, shortening the period at the end of life when we are heavily dependent on others.
The national Live Longer Better Programme is mainly supported by Sport England’s Active Partnerships like Active Cumbria. Take a look at this Lunch & Learn recording to find out more:
