We are committed to making the city a great place for people to grow old where older residents are supported and empowered to live life to the fullest.
A city-wide steering group has been developed to set out how we will:
- Support people to live healthily
- Have age-friendly places across the city that feel welcome and safe (this includes transport, outdoor spaces and buildings)
- Ensure activities are available that are financially, culturally and physically accessible
- Promote and celebrate the contribution of older people in the community
- Ensure older people have opportunities to develop new skills and pass on their skills
- Ensure that communications across the city are inclusive and portray positive images of older people.
