This framework has been developed to communicate what it means to be an age-friendly business and organises a broad range of ideas into the key steps any business can take to become more age-friendly.
Sectors and businesses are vital components of local communities with a huge role to play in our day-to-day lives.
The fact that many of us are living longer is to be celebrated, but it is vital that, as a society, we invest in ways to help people age well. We want local businesses and community settings to be accessible, welcoming, and inclusive to us as we age.
We are working with the UK Network of Age-friendly Communities, partners, sector umbrella organisations, businesses and like-minded organisations to promote and encourage age-friendly practices through the provision of information, resources, and examples of good practice.
This framework has been developed to communicate what it means to be an age-friendly business and organises a broad range of ideas into the key steps any business can take to become more age-friendly. We believe these steps are not only good for older customers, but for all customers. They could also benefit staff and volunteers, along with the wider community, and enhance organisational sustainability, growth, and innovation.
