ACTIVAGE Project, Leeds Could technology help you or someone you care for live more independently for longer? Leeds City Council is offering a trial project, ACTIVAGE, in partnership with Samsung to provide technology to people aged 65 and over living in Leeds.

There is also an ŌĆśevents near meŌĆÖ option to encourage more activity and an ŌĆśemergency triggerŌĆÖ option to alert a named contact if required.
Participants of the project must: ŌĆó Be resident in Leeds ŌĆó Be 65 or over (next of kin or carer age unimportant) ŌĆó Have broadband at home
