Programme
Differences in life expectancy between men and women are narrowing. More men and more couples are predicted to require housing with support and this will change the gender balance of residents. Now is the time to review how design and activities in schemes can meet these changing needs. At this event hear the views of male residents about their experiences and aspirations, find out what is working elsewhere. Recent research highlights the risks to health of sedentary lifestyles at all ages. Find out more about ways to increase physical activity levels among residents in extra care.
