| Annotation | Describes Manchester's journey to becoming an age-friendly city promoting older people's quality of life and well-being, beginning with the launch of its Valuing Older People (VOP) programme in 2003 and the establishment of an Older People's Board in 2004. In 2010 Manchester became the first UK city to join the World Health Organisation's (WHO) Global Network of Age-Friendly Cities and Communities, part of the first wave of a dozen cities to pledge continual improvement in support of the WHO's eight age-friendly domains of city life.
