SUMMARY:LARIA Summer Webinar Series 2026 - Webinar 1
DESCRIPTION:Session 1: 10:00-10:45\nAgeing in Place Spatial Risk Model: An evidence-based approach to tackling inequalities in ageing\nThe Ageing in Place Spatial Risk Model has been developed to support evidence-informed policy development\, strategic planning\, and place-based decision making to address social isolation and healthy ageing across Greater Manchester. Developed as part of the Ageing in Place Pathfinder in collaboration with Manchester Metropolitan University\, the model provides a consistent analytical lens through which policymakers and neighbourhood-based teams can understand how spatial\, social\, and demographic factors enable or constrain residents aged 50 and over to age well in their communities.By bringing together multiple indicators linked to deprivation\, health\, mobility\, employment\, ethnic diversity\, social connection\, and access to assets alongside the voice and lived experience of older residents\, the model helps identify where risks to ageing well are concentrated and where they overlap. This enables more targeted and preventative responses to be co-produced with residents\, supporting interventions that are tailored to local community needs and address inequalities in mid and later life. The model directly informed delivery across 10 neighbourhoods\, supporting partners to engage socially isolated residents\, identify priority areas for action\, and co-design Ageing in Place Action Plans. The approach is now being scaled within the Greater Manchester wide approach to Live Well in Later Life.\nSandaru Weerasinghe\, Greater Manchester Combined Authority (Ageing Hub) \nSession 2: 10:45-11:30\nFrom Data to Action: Tackling Health Inequalities in Gamesley Through Community-Led Insight\nThe Gamesley Community Needs Assessment (GCNA) provides a robust\, mixed‑methods investigation into one of the most deprived wards in Derbyshire. Using a neighbourhood approach and through detailed ward‑level epidemiology\, ACORN segmentation and qualitative engagement with 23 residents and professionals\, the project uncovered inequalities masked at district level\, including Gamesley having the highest standardised incidence ratio for colorectal cancer in England alongside lower screening uptake. The research illuminated the lived experience of local people\, revealing interconnected themes: strong community ties\, limited transport and opportunity\, financial hardship\, safety concerns\, living with poor health and a history of “project-fatigue”. \nThe findings directly informed evidence‑based decision‑making across Derbyshire County Council and partners. Four actionable recommendations were agreed: a targeted communication plan\, a Health Equity Audit of screening and behaviour change services\, a deep dive into mental health\, and ongoing community‑led monitoring. Early outcomes include a well‑attended community feedback event\, reinvigoration of a residents’ association\, establishment of a new Community Neighbourhood Group\, and co‑production of a mental health guide with local residents. \nThe GCNA demonstrates how rigorous local area research\, grounded in authentic community participation\, can shift practice\, strengthen partnerships and drive improvements in health equity.\nCaroline Mackie\, Derbyshire County Council Public Health\n\n\n\nWebinars are available free of charge to Full Individual Members\, Corporate Members\, Full Corporate Members and Additional Corporate Members.
