Public Consultation: Age Friendly Strategy

Fermanagh and Omagh District Council is currently consulting on the Draft Age Friendly Strategy and Action Plan.
This is the second Age Friendly Strategy for the district and builds on the work of the previous strategy. It has been developed to place our older people at the centre of an Age Friendly society, ensuring local voices are heard and supported to remain healthy, active and connected in their district and community.

The strategy and action plan process has been led by the Age Friendly Alliance and informed by robust consultation, including a district wide survey which attracted 925 responses from people aged 50 years plus to ensure a community led process in identifying need. The consultation process also engaged directly with older people through a series of focus groups.
The Council is now keen to welcome the views of residents and organisations on the Draft Age Friendly Strategy and Action Plan.

The consultation will run from 10 July to 10 October 2025.
