Funding proposal to The Atlantic Philanthropies by Ireland’s Age Friendly Cities and Counties Programme in 2014

View on DRI

Context

Ireland’s Age Friendly Cities and Counties Programme supports cities, counties and towns across Ireland to prepare for the rapid ageing of our population by paying increased attention to the environmental, economic and social factors that influence the health and well-being of older adults. Age-friendly programmes work to provide walkable streets, housing and transportation options, access to key services and opportunities for older people to participate in community activities. By doing so, these communities are better equipped to become great places, and where appropriate lifelong homes, for people of all ages.

In 2013, Ireland’s Age Friendly Cities and Counties Programme Ltd. was given €1,873,000.00 for a project titled Age Friendly Cities and Counties Initiative. With this funding the programme was to complete a national roll-out of the Age Friendly Cities and Counties model and mainstream the service with state support.
