Laois County Council together with their local Age Friendly Alliance Board, may run programmes to support cities and counties to become more inclusive places for older people by planning for and developing age friendly services.
The Age Friendly Cities and Counties Programme is part of a worldwide initiative inspired by the World Health Organization (WHO). It aims to prepare cities, counties, and towns across Ireland for the rapid aging of the population.
By focusing on environmental, economic, and social factors that impact older adults’ well-being, local programs work to create walkable streets, accessible housing, transportation options, and community activities for older people. These efforts help communities become great places for people of all ages
