Ageing Well in Place in Hulme
Ageing Well in Place is an exciting and innovative partnership that was catalysed by tenants living at Hopton Court tower block in Hulme.
The partnership includes On Top of the World project, Cornbrook Medical Practice, CLASS, One Manchester housing association and representatives from the University of Manchester and Manchester School of Architecture. The tenants are now organised as ‘Aquarius Community Savers’, bringing together representatives from across three tower blocks to take forward a Naturally Occurring Retirement Community Model (NORC). The model is focused on enabling older people to ‘age well’ in the place they call home, without having to re-locate in late life.
Power in Balance
Power in Balance is a national youth organising programme designed to build the leadership, organising skills and collective power of young women and allies across the UK.
