A new booklet has been produced by Age Friendly Salford to help older people plan for winter.
The term ‘Age Friendly’ it’s about recognising the challenges of an ageing population and looking at all the different ways that together we can rise to those challenges, foster healthy and active ageing, make it possible for people to continue to stay in their homes participating in the activities they value and contributing to their communities for as long as possible.
The World Health Organisation provided an Age Friendly Model to help places around the world look at their communities in a structured way, considering all the different aspects that affect our lives. And it’s not just about cities, it’s about age friendly places – our streets, neighbourhoods and communities – the definition is up to us. Salford started using the World Health Organisation model back in 2014 as a way of bringing together some ideas and projects which were important to older people’s health and wellbeing.
This latest booklet produced as part of the Age Friendly Salford programme brings together in one easy read the information which is relevant to help older people prepare for and stay well during the winter.
