National Strategies
National Service Framework for Older People
"…the promotion of health and active life in older age through a co-ordinated programme of action led by the NHS and local council’s".
A New Ambition for Old Age
Activities within the Older People’s Programme aim to support national strategies for improving the health and wellbeing of older people – addressing dignity in care, dignity at the end of life, improved mental wellbeing, healthy aging and improved stroke services.
We are keen to make a contribution to local and regional initiatives through projects, action research and workforce development activities which will create more opportunities for older people, however old or frail, to be physically mobile and confident, and take pleasure in their physicality.
We also aim to offer training and support designed to increase the
involvement of volunteers, alongside health and social care staff,
to provide extended opportunities for involvement in pleasurable
physical rehabilitation activity.
