Health and Wellbeing

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council has launched its second Age Friendly Strategy and Action Plan. This plan will help the Council and its partners make our district a place where people can live well as they age — staying healthy, active, and involved in their community

Age Friendly Strategy and Action Plan 2021-2023

This strategy builds on the success of the 2016–2019 Age Friendly Strategic Alliance Plan. It marks the start of a new phase where local organisations will work together in a more coordinated way to make the district even more age-friendly.

Newry, Mourne and Down is expected to see the biggest increase in residents aged 65 and over in Northern Ireland by 2028. Planning for this change is important so that the Council can meet the needs of older people in the years ahead.

The current Age Friendly Strategy and Action Plan include commitments from many partner organisations to put older residents at the heart of their work. Older people will help shape and deliver the actions needed to make our district a great place to live and grow older.
