Age Friendly Norwich

Age UK Norwich is committed to building an Age Friendly City, a place where people can age well, stay independent, and remain active in their community. By joining a global network of over 1,000 cities, we can tackle the challenges of an ageing population and create a city that works for all generations.

Key challenges we need to address include:

  • By 2040, 40% of Norfolk’s population will be of dependent age, with the 85+ population doubling

  • Residents in deprived areas of Norwich live nearly 10 years less than those in wealthier areas

  • 23% of over-65s live in poverty

  • 11% of Norfolk residents provide unpaid care, above the national average

  • Norwich is one of the loneliest cities in the UK, with 42% of residents living alone (up to 65% in some wards)

We would love to hear your feedback!
