Age UK Stockport facilitate the Age Friendly Network, which is a network of local people, individuals and representatives from local groups or organisations, working for positive wellbeing in later life.

The Age Friendly Network in Stockport aligns to the work with the Borough Age Friendly Board.
This network is an opportunity to engage and influence what is happening locally to support positive ageing.

The network meets quarterly in our Age UK Stockport Hub at 2 Castle Street in Edgeley, Stockport, discussing topics, talks and similar interests to support living in older life.

Our vision for Stockport is a place where people are supported to remain active, retain their independence and have a sense of purpose and wellbeing as they grow older. Working within the Age Friendly strategy that is based on the ambitions that our older residents have voiced:

• I am encouraged and supported to remain active as I get older
• I have the social life I want and I don't worry about being lonely
• I have a sense of purpose now and for my future

The Network helps in translating these ambitions into practical and achievable objectives, and of course revises them as the world changes.
