LiveWell - Living Well in the North East

The LiveWell programme is a major research project led by Newcastle University which aims to develop lifestyle-based interventions to enhance health and wellbeing in later life.

Getting older is inevitable but how we experience ageing differs greatly. Recent research suggests that having a better diet, being physically and mentally active and having good social connections are associated with better health and wellbeing in older life.

LiveWell aims to develop effective ways to promote health in later life. We are very keen to develop partnerships with employers, and with health and social services, to develop and deliver our innovative programme for people close to retirement.

The LiveWell website is due to be launched in the next 6 weeks and we will have details here when they are available.
