International Longevity Centre/Age UK Expert Seminar: Community Matters: are our communities ready for ageing?

Description

Invited to attend the International Longevity Centre/Age UK Expert Seminar: Community Matters: are our communities ready for ageing?

A report from ILC-UK and Age UK, taking a futures perspective on how communities need to adapt to an ageing society. The report argues that policy makers must work to ensure that communities do more than cater for our basic needs. It argues that communities should be places of fun for all. The report highlights the importance of supporting walking and cycling in old age as well as the need to ensure housing is adaptable to an ageing society. The Community matters report was produced following three expert workshops and a conference attended by 100 people. Around 150 expert researchers, policy experts and older people contributed views during a 6 month process.
