This handbook outlines the key features of age-friendly communities in the UK, and gives examples of practices and policies that can be implemented at a local level.
The week before last, Ageing Better were among a partnership of organisations that delivered The Age-Friendly Futures Summit in Manchester, bringing together around 250 leaders, policymakers, practitioners and researchers from the UK and around the globe.
This report aims to raise awareness of the links between health and homes and provide examples of local systems that have developed cross-sector initiatives to improve residents’ health by tackling problems in the home.
At the Centre for Ageing Better we believe that in order to reduce the number of unsafe homes across England, we need improve the local offer in accessing support for people to improve their homes.
