Age Friendly Gwynedd Action Plan
Our action plan for Gwynedd has been developed following conversationswith older people across Gwynedd and our partners, as well as informationcollected from forums, conferences, workshops and events held over thepast years to discuss age-friendliness, ageing, and the older population ofGwynedd. This is a working document that will be continuously developed.
The action plan has been split into the eight domains of an age-friendlycommunity: housing, transport, social participation, outdoor spaces andbuildings, respect and social inclusion, civic participation and employment,community support and health services, and communication andinformation.
Each domain will focus on what we know, examples of good practise, whatwe’ve heard, and what we are planning to do.
Housing
Having different types of houses and places for individuals to live is veryimportant 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.

Communities thrive from having outdoor spaces and buildings that welcome everyone, from community hubs to gardens to friendship benches and otherinitiatives 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 underappreciated 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
