In this webinar we discussed the Good Home Inquiry’s findings and recommendations, the policy priorities of the public and the next steps needed to improve our homes and improve the lives of millions of people.
This webinar explored the motivators and barriers to physical activity for people in their 50s and 60s, and what might work to help people in this age group feel the benefits and get active. With special guest, Derrick Evans MBE: Mr Motivator.
The Good Home Inquiry was established to look at the poor quality of our homes, to consider the consequences, and to explore what needs to be done to put things right. It was crucial that real people were at the centre.
With over four million poor-quality homes in England, over half of which are lived in by older people, this new research finds that local hubs have been backed by the public as a way to help address poor housing.
Despite it being one of the easiest ways to build physical activity into daily life, people in mid and later life are less likely to participate in active travel than younger age groups.
New report finds that lack of cycle and footpaths, personal safety concerns, and declining health are key barriers to people in their 50s and 60s walking or cycling as a means of travel.
Around 50% of Torbay’s population is over the age of 50. This makes it especially important to have a platform for older members so that their area can be a better place to grow old in.
