There are more than 39,100 people aged 65 years and over living and shopping in our city and this will continue to grow. Making your business more welcoming and accessible to older people and people living with dementia will benefit your business and improve the experience for all your customers.
The Age and Dementia Friendly Business Recognition Scheme is a toolkit to support your organisation to take simple steps to become more inclusive and accessible. These simple steps will make a big difference to your customers and employees. Find out more about the benefits of the scheme here.
It’s easy to become more Age and Dementia Friendly. Many actions are low or zero cost and you can choose the actions that are appropriate for you, and we will support you to achieve them.
