The idea of this graph is to try to make use of the most up to date information possible from [https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/download public data] about the number of confirmed cases in various age bands. These are corrected for day-of-week biases as far as possible in a non-laggy way, so hopefully trends over the last few days can be discerned. The age groups (which are in 5 year bands in the data source) are chosen here to focus on children and young adults. In addition, the 25-65 group roughly reflects working ages, and 65+ corresponds roughly to the retired and particularly vulnerable to Covid-19.
