Fingal Age Friendly is committed to driving a collaborative, multi-sectorial Age Friendly programme which supports initiatives, activities and works plans that will significantly help to improve the quality of life of the current and future population of older people in Fingal.
Fingal’s Age Friendly programme supports citizens in Fingal to prepare for ageing by paying increased attention to the environmental, economic and social factors that influence the health and well-being of older adults. By embedding Age Friendly in organisational policies Fingal County Council works to provide walkable streets, housing and transportation options, access to key services and opportunities for older people to participate in community activities. By doing so, these communities are better equipped to become great places, and where appropriate lifelong homes, for people of all ages.
