Age Friendly Public Consultaion

Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council are undertaking an 8-week public consultation on behalf of the Borough’s Age Friendly Alliance to seek comments on the ABC Age Friendly Strategy and 3 Year Action Plan and we would like you to have your say.

With the support of funding from the Public Health Agency and the commitment of other partners, we have established an Age Friendly Alliance for the Borough. The Alliance has led on the development of an Age Friendly Strategy for the Borough.

The development took place in the second half of 2021 through engagement with a range of representatives from public, community and voluntary sectors, including surveys with almost 600 people aged 50 and over living in the Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon borough.

Please click on the links at the bottom of this page if you wish to access the following documents:

  • Draft Age Friendly Strategy and 3 Year Action Plan
  • Age Friendly Strategy and 3 Year Action Plan Summary
  • Rural Needs Impact Assessment
  • Equality Screening Form
