Active Ageing Activities
As a nation we have an ageing population - Whilst this is a positive outcome from improved health care and standards of living, our ageing populations are also costing our services millions of pounds due to inactivity. Of the 85,957 people living in the Forest of Dean, the greatest demographic are those aged between 45 - 69 years old which totals 31% of the population and 26,646 adults. 23.8% of the population are aged 65. We provide a wide range of programmes to encourage active ageing in FOD including Walking Football, Walking Netball, 50+ Swims, dedicated gym times and Dementia outreach opportunities.
