Living longer gives people the chance to purse new activities such adult education, a new career, voluntary work or pursuing a new hobby or passion. Older people can also contribute in many ways to their families and communities. However, our ability to maximise opportunities in later life relies on healthy ageing. In recent years there have been little gains in Wales or across the UK in healthy life expectancy – that is the number of years a person can expect to life in good health. Many older people experience at least one chronic health condition such as osteoarthritis, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (WHO, 2018). As we live longer more people are also at risk of developing dementia and it is estimated that by 2040 79,700 people in Wales aged 65 and over will be living with dementia (Care Policy and Evaluation Centre, 2019)
