Westmeath County Council launched the Westmeath Age Friendly Strategy 2025–2028 on December 1st in Bloomfield House Hotel, reaffirming its commitment to creating a county where people of all ages can live well, feel valued and stay connected. The strategy brings together key agencies, community and service providers to collaborate on improving the lives of older people in Westmeath. The Strategy represents a co-ordinated, cross-sector initiative, led by Westmeath County Council, ensuring a unified and strategic approach to advancing age friendly actions.
Built on consultation with over 70 community, voluntary and older people’s groups, the strategy aligns with the National Positive Ageing Strategy and the World Health Organisations’s Global Age Friendly Cities initiative, with a focus on improvements in eight key areas:
- Outdoor spaces & buildings
- Transport
- Housing
- Respect & social inclusion
- Social participation
- Communication & information
- Civic participation & employment
- Community support & health services
