Our parent organisation is Livewell Southwest, an independent, award-winning social enterprise providing integrated health and social care services for people across Plymouth, South Hams and West Devon.
Life expectancy in the UK is at record levels, but millions of Brits are spending their retirement in ill health. Living healthily in middle age can double your chances of being healthy when you are 70.
