Community Connectors |
What does an ‘Age Friendly’ Community look like to you? What would make
Sheringham a more ‘Age Friendly’ place to live and visit. We are looking for
opinions and comments on these questions to help the planning of an upcoming
project. It’s possible that your thoughts could be based on the following eight
areas of Healthy Ageing…….
Outdoor spaces and buildings • Transport • Housing • Social
participation • Respect and social inclusion • Civic participation and
employment• Communication and information • Community support and health
services. Or something completely different!
Your opinions on these areas could help us shape our project and contribute to
Sheringham and other towns in North Norfolk becoming ‘Age Friendly’ communities.
There will be questionnaires available in The Red Hart and the Village Hall
for you to complete before a brief presentation on my visit to the Community
Cafe on 24th February [after the scam talk]
