Older People in Northern Ireland

NI Department of Communities: Active Ageing Scheme 2016-2022

Our vision is one of Northern Ireland being an age friendly region in which people, as they grow older, are valued and supported to live actively to their fullest potential; with their rights respected and their dignity protected

The purpose of the Strategy is to transform attitudes to, and services for, older people. It aims to increase the understanding of the issues affecting older people and promote an emphasis on rights, value and contribution.
