Street, Manchester, M4 4BF http://www.thefederation.coop/find-us.html
Meeting Type: Group face-to-face
Introductory note:
Greater Manchester (GM) is one of the UK’s most successful city-regions and is home to more than 2.8 million people. The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) is made up of the ten Greater Manchester councils and an elected mayor, Andy Burnham, who work with other local services, businesses, communities and other partners to improve the city-region.
The creation of the combined authority is part of a Devolution agreement which sees the transfer of certain powers and responsibilities away from national government to the GMCA, on the basis that decisions made locally can better meet the needs and aspirations of the people who live and work in the area.
The meeting will be a showcase for presentations and discussion on the theme of devolution. It will be an opportunity to consider age friendly integration and practice on a regional scale in the context of Greater Manchester’s recent recognition by the WHO as the UK’s first Age Friendly City Region. Taking a thematic approach, the meeting will explore the opportunities and challenges this presents.
The meeting will consider the following themes:
a. Employment, skills and worklessness among the over 50s
b. Age-friendly neighbourhood working and collaborative models
c. Housing and Planning
d. Age-Friendly Culture
e. Innovation and Ageing
f. Public Health - Sex and Intimacy and Later Life
Sessions will hear from local policy makers and academics about how public services, businesses, cultural providers and health & care systems are adopting, and adapting to, age friendly practices, principles and integration. They will also consider responses to the challenges of urban ageing and the role of older people and communities at a city and neighbourhood level.
The main goals of the meeting will be:
- Sharing, learning and information
- Identifying and agreeing areas for joint working and collaboration between cities.
There is an optional opportunity for participants to stay on in Manchester to attend the British Society of Gerontology’s national conference running from 4 - 6 July 2018. The conference is being held at Manchester University, which is very close to the City centre. The conference theme is Ageing In An Unequal World - Shaping Environments for the 21st Century and will bring together top academics, practitioners and policy makers from across the world of ageing.
