Embracing longevity: Ageing well in Plymouth

Life expectancy is increasing, a testament to medical advancements and improved living conditions. In the UK, a 65-year-old today can anticipate living to 85, and remarkably, it's projected that one in five babies born today will celebrate their 100th birthday. This demographic shift presents both challenges and exciting opportunities for our community.

We are committed to ensuring all Plymouth residents can live fulfilling lives and are working hard to achieve the overall vision for Plymouth: one of Europe's most vibrant waterfront cities, where an outstanding quality of life is enjoyed by everyone and where age is no barrier. We want our city to be a beacon of healthy, happy living.

Within this section, you'll find information that helps you to make informed choices and embrace the possibilities that come with each stage of life.
