A special event to highlight the issues around enabling people in later life to live life
to the full took place in November 2011.
Kirklees Council and partner organisations, asked what we need to do to
"live life to the full" and make Kirklees a good place to grow
older, so that we can all make the most of later life and enjoy an active lifestyle.
The event focused on the social aspects of preparing for later life and looked at what plans we make for later life; what hopes and
aspirations motivate us as we approach later life; and, whether later life is viewed as an opportunity to do the things we never
got to do earlier in life. The event was supported by the Local Government Association and was designed to support local
authorities and partners to improve their services for people in later life.
