Hi, I’m Steven, and I'm leading the Ageing in Place project in Bury.

I've been working in the health and wellbeing sector for over 10 years and I have always been passionate about helping people live their best lives.

The Ageing in Place project was a perfect fit to help me achieve this. Being over 50 is no reason to not continue to be part of the community and with this project I am able to solve the barriers, deliver more activities and make Bury an age-friendly place to live.

After the success of Ageing in Place Phase 1, we've received three more years of funding from October 2025, to expand across the Bury borough in:

• Bury East
• Whitefield (Besses o' th' Barn)
• Radcliffe East & West
• Prestwich (Holyrood)
• Elton

We're calling this Ageing in Place Phase 2.

Our project is based around three key questions:

• What is it like to live in your area?

• What could be better?

• How can we work together to make these improvements happen?

It is aimed at residents who are aged 50+ and we are looking at how we can improve the area to make it age friendly by delivering more activities and overcoming barriers. 

The project is very much resident led so we want to speak to as many of you as possible, because our direction is shaped by what is most important to you.

We are focussed on co-production, so building strong partnerships in Bury is important to us.
