A consensus on healthy ageing

This initiative supported by a range of organisations across national and local government, charity and voluntary organisations, public health, academics and the NHS, and has been facilitated by Public Health England and the Centre for Ageing Better. Its purpose is to set out our shared commitments on healthy ageing and to demonstrate our leadership as we enter the World Health Organization’s Decade of Healthy Ageing 2020-2030.

The vision, underpinned by 5 commitments, is for England to be the best place in the world to grow older, giving everyone the opportunities and support they need to have a healthy and good quality later life and making the best use of the strengths, skills and experience of older people.
