Age Friendly Network Survey Results

We’ve collated and analysed the findings of our ‘Survey for people aged 50+’, which many of you filled in at the end of 2022. Your responses have helped us to identify the key issues that you felt were important to you. The findings will help us collectively develop the direction of the Age Friendly Network as an independent representative voice to partners and local services. We’ve developed a visual representation of the headline findings and some suggestions for solutions to raise awareness and work together to bring about lasting change.
