This is a key strategy for Manchester – the UK’s first Age Friendly City. It sets out how housing for older people will develop over the coming years and what action is needed to be taken now. It links to how care and health services will be provided for the older population. It describes how Manchester can build to make the city an attractive place for people to grow older, living as independently as possible.
All of the documents relating to the consultation are available on the website to be read or printed.

Do you want to help make Manchester a better place to live?
Here’s a great opportunity to shape the future of the city’s homes and housing services.
Manchester City Council are developing a new Housing Strategy for Older People – “Living Longer, Living Better - Housing for an Age Friendly Manchester”.
There have been many changes to the NHS in recent years. One of those was the formation of Clinical Commissioning Groups, or CCGs in April 2013. CCGs are responsible for commissioning the best health services for the area they represent. This means that they plan, arrange and fund local health services.
Central Manchester CCG would like to invite you to attend one of their community engagement events taking place throughout October. You will be able to listen to their plans for the next 5 years and tell them how you would like to be involved in helping us to achieve these.
Domestic abuse is an appalling form of cruelty. Many people still do not see it as the serious crime it is. The Government defines domestic abuse as:
“any incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive, threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those aged 16 or over who are, or have been, intimate partners or family members regardless of gender or sexuality.”
The behaviour captured in this definition includes:
“…a pattern of acts of assault, threats, humiliation and intimidation or other abuse that is used to harm, punish, or frighten their victim”.
How should Manchester City Council provide independent advocacy for people who need personal care and support so they can say what they want, secure their rights and get the service they need? Manchester City Council are working with the NHS and other agencies to address changes in the law that affect the care and support needs of adults: The Care Act 2014.
