Older people, with the council, local health services, Agewell and other partners in Sandwell worked together to build a shared plan for over 50s in Sandwell. The resulting strategy describes our vision for improved quality of life and wellbeing.

The strategy, Living Well in Later Life in Sandwell, was the first Sandwell Partnership strategy for people over fifty, and was effective from 2006 to 2010.

We have now revised the strategy to take us up to 2013. The revised strategy updates the previous one and takes account of organisational and demographic changes and the increasing aspirations of older people. The strategy is available below.

We have worked closely with different groups of older people to identify what is important to them.

Our vision is of a borough where older people make contributions as active citizens and are informed and given choices about how to live their lives.
