Live Longer Better

Age UK Blackburn with Darwen and the Blackburn with Darwen Age Well Partnership have been working with Sir Muir Gray and his team of experts to change the culture surrounding ageing, replacing the concept of care with the concept of enablement. 

No matter how old someone is and how many conditions they have, the expectation should be that they can be enabled to regain lost ability, improve their physical and mental wellbeing and make an even greater contribution to society.

There is strong scientific evidence that if we put into practice the knowledge that we already have, people can live longer better.

We have worked with leading experts to create a series of videos to help people be the best that they can as they age and to help put some simple steps into practice to improve health and mobility
