Age Friendly Organisations
If you are an organisation based on the Isle of Wight and would like to work towards becoming Age Friendly, or if you would like to get involved with our work to influence change in the workplace, there are lots of ways you can work with us.
You can complete our Age Friendly Training and promote the course across your organisation, you can sign up to our Charter to show your organisation’s commitment to being Age Friendly or you can request to join one of our dedicated project groups or our main steering group.
