Description:

Age UK Isle of Wight are the lead delivery partner in Age Friendly Island – a five year Programme established in 2015, which funded by Big Lottery to reduce loneliness and isolation. Age Friendly Island’s strategic project works with a range of prominent public, private and voluntary sector organisations to better consider the needs of elderly people. The United Kingdom has an ageing demographic and it is crucial that the professionals who serve clients or customers have a clear understanding of the issues faced as we age and how to improve their ability to communicate with older people.
