The four steps of becoming age-friendly
-
Step 1: Engage and Understand
The first step on the journey to becoming an Age-friendly Community is to engage local leaders, stakeholders and older people and work to understand how ‘age-friendly’ your community currently is, so your activity can respond to current needs and opportunities.
-
Step 2: Plan strategically
Next, communities will use all of the information gathered in Step One to determine their local priorities for action.
-
Step 3: Act and implement
In Step 3, Age-friendly Communities will create and deliver on an action plan that achieves their strategic priorities, with whatever resource they have. Some communities will combine their strategy and action plan.
-
Step 4: Monitor and evaluate
Finally, Age-friendly Communities will assess their progress in implementing the Age-friendly approach as well as the impact of the work on local people’s lives.

Why do we need to do this?
We want Norwich to become an age friendly city. We see this as an essential strategy to ensure we’re an inclusive city where residents can thrive, supported by opportunities and services that enhance and protect their health and wellbeing.
As a society, we have invested substantial resources in helping people to live longer. We now need to make sure those years uphold a quality of life we can be proud of.
