Ageing Well Strategy and Action Plan Launch Event

2 October, 2024

Over 120 people joined us at The Gaiety Theatre Ayr to officially launch the new South Ayrshire Ageing Well Strategy and Action Plan on Tuesday 10 September. South Ayrshire have been working with communities to help tackle the issues associated with the area’s ageing population, which is the fastest in Scotland. This event was an opportunity to bring together key people who helped develop the strategy which kick starts this social movement, including members of staff from community planning, subject experts from across Scotland, as well as community members who have played an active role in both developing and reviewing the planned actions being taken forward.

We are also excited to share our Ageing Well video, developed in collaboration with The Iris Ayr. The video showcases South Ayrshire’s commitment to supporting its ageing population in leading healthy, active, and fulfilling lives. The video features testimonials from residents who share their experiences with activities and services such as fitness classes, social clubs and support groups. The film emphasises the importance of staying connected, active and engaged.
