Age Friendly Gwynedd Action Plan

Our action plan for Gwynedd has been developed following conversations with older people across Gwynedd and our partners, as well as information collected from forums, conferences, workshops and events held over the past years to discuss age-friendliness, ageing, and the older population of Gwynedd. This is a working document that will be continuously developed.

The action plan has been split into the eight domains of an age-friendly community: housing, transport, social participation, outdoor spaces and buildings, respect and social inclusion, civic participation and employment, community support and health services, and communication and information.

Each domain will focus on what we know, examples of good practise, what we’ve heard, and what we are planning to do.

Housing

Having different types of houses and places for individuals to live is very important in order to meet the needs of our population.

Transport

As Gwynedd is a large rural county transport is important to allow individuals to be able to participate in social events, to work, to access health services, and much more.

Social Participation

Being able to stay connected is essential, and across Gwynedd communities offer various activities, locations, and events to allow individuals the opportunity to participate socially.

Outdoor spaces and buildings

Communities thrive from having outdoor spaces and buildings that welcome everyone, from community hubs to gardens to friendship benches and other initiatives that make people feel that they belong.

Respect and Social Inclusion

Respect for individuals of all ages is important in any community but by bringing people of all ages together with intergenerational projects we can ensure that we teach different generations the importance of respecting each other.

Civic Participation and Employment

Older people have a wealth of knowledge and experience which is currently under-appreciated and undervalued. It is important to encourage opportunities for older people to work and to volunteer is if that is the wish of the individual.

Community Support and Health Services

Gwynedd is a rural county and therefore access to health services can be challenging, but is of course essential. Working closely with communities can support developments to provide access to health services.

Communication and Information

A growing number of older people in Wales are at risk of social exclusion and being left behind as the use of digital technology continues to play an even greater role in our everyday lives.
