Age Friendly

Recommendations

Info

• Increase the participation of older people in the social, economic and cultural life of the community, for everyone’s benefit. • Lead the way in demonstrating the processes that are required, the benefits to be gained and lessons to be learned from implementing an age friendly initiative. This sharing of information as the programme develops is hugely important. • Encourage others to develop supports and services which are more responsive, caring, professional and accessible to older people. The model of working in cooperation with all agencies and local communities is the most important aspect to promote. Meetings • The Alliance shall meet a minimum of four times a year • Ideally meetings should be scheduled for the year to ensure full attendance. • The quorum at all meetings of the Alliance shall be 50% of the full membership.
