Ageing Well programme

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.
