| Annotation | Since 2003 the Valuing Older People (VOP) programme has brought together a council-led partnership of agencies, community groups and individuals to promote better quality of life for older people. Manchester's older residents, together with statutory, voluntary and independent agencies are leading the development of partnership work and supporting varied initiatives to improve older people's quality of life. They aim to tackle the city's health and other inequalities and address specific challenges of growing older in deprived urban areas. In 2009 Manchester's VOP team published its ageing strategy and the city has now joined the global network of age-friendly cities. The authors look at progress to date, and some of the current issues and opportunities. (JL). |
