Barnet has been accepted into the UK Network of Age-Friendly Communities - a growing movement led by the World Health Organisation.

An Age-Friendly Community is a place that enables people to age well and live a good later life - somewhere that people can stay living in their homes, take part in activities they value and contribute to their communities for as long as possible.

The Age-Friendly Community initiative in Barnet is being led by Age UK Barnet and supported by Barnet Council.

To kickstart the project, Age UK Barnet is seeking the views of Barnet residents. Age UK is keen to find out what is currently being done well in Barnet and where there is room for improvement.

The results of this research will help Age UK Barnet to build a strategy to enhance and improve community life in Barnet in areas such as housing, outdoor spaces and social inclusion.
