Leeds City Council is committed to improving the experience of its ageing population. Priority two of Leeds Health and Wellbeing Strategy focuses on becoming a city where people age well. In October 2017 Centre for Ageing Better signed a memorandum of understanding with Leeds City Council (LCC) and Leeds Older People's Forum (LOPF)2. The purpose of the partnership is to enable Leeds to: -adopt evidence-based practice into city systems -to pilot innovative approaches and to generate new evidence that can be shared locally, regionally, nationally and internationally by Ageing Better, LCC, LOPF and other stakeholders. -The Centre for Ageing Better has funded a post hosted by Leeds City Council which acts as a key liaison between Ageing Better, Leeds City Council and Leeds Older People's Forum. This post will be key link for the evaluators as the work progresses.
