Staying Well is a one year pilot project in 4 areas of Calderdale; North Halifax, Elland, Park ward and Hebden Bridge.

The project is funded by the Calderdale Clinical Commissioning Group and aims to work with residents aged 55 and over to reduce loneliness and isolation and improve health and well-being.

My background is in community organising where I get people more involved in community life. I’m really excited to be working on this project working with older people so they can have more of a say on what goes on.
