The Cutteslowe Helen Hamlyn Healthy Ageing Hub for Seniors is an exciting new initiative supporting older people to live healthier, more independent lives within their community. It is a collaboration between the University of Oxford, the Helen Hamlyn Trust, and local partners Cutteslowe Connected Church and Summertown Clinic.

​

As our population ages, growing pressure on health and social care highlights the need for more preventative, community-based support. The Hub responds by offering a welcoming local space where older adults can access services, build connections, and maintain wellbeing.

​

Underpinning the Hub is a simple but powerful idea: that healthy ageing is shaped by everyday factors. Our work focuses on six key areas—nutrition, physical activity, social connection, healthcare access, and the built and natural environments. By working together, we are building a healthier, more resilient future for ageing well in Cutteslowe.
