Creating an age friendly business programme

Resources 

The Gore District have established New Zealand’s first Age Friendly Business programme, that recognises businesses and organisations in their area that are aspiring to be an age friendly business.

As a part of their programme resources were developed, designed to be used by other regions and communities to establish their own age friendly business programme. These resources were developed collaboratively by Gore district’s Ready for Living programme, local businesses and its older community members and was facilitated by Partners in Change with support from the Office for Seniors.
