Did you know that commissioners of health services in Manchester have been working with voluntary and community groups on projects for older people in the city?
The aim is to help people in their 50s and over to stay involved in hobbies and social groups so they don’t feel isolated, which can have a big impact on physical and mental health.
The groups offer a wide range of recreational ideas and are also a way of making friends and easing loneliness.
Manchester’s three Clinical Commissioning Groups have given grants to 29 projects across Manchester to provide all the social outlets listed in this booklet. Each listing contains a summary of the project and contact details.
