Age-friendly Ambassadors

Would you like to be an Age-friendly Ambassador?

"At the heart of an Age-friendly Community is the meaningful engagement and involvement of older people." (Centre for Ageing Better) 

• Are you aged 50+ and living in East Lindsey?
• Would you like the opportunity to have your say on issues that affect you? 
• Would you like to share Age-positive messages with family, friends and your community?

East Lindsey District Council have been working with Lincolnshire Community and Voluntary Service to develop an Age-friendly Ambassador scheme.

The Age-friendly Ambassador Role:

• This is a voluntary role for an adult aged 50+.
• Ambassadors can give as much, or as little time, depending upon what suits them.
• Ambassadors will be involved in communicating Age-friendly messages, including tackling ageism. This will largely be within their own personal life networks. For example, in their workplace, social groups, places of worship or with family and friends.
• Ambassadors could be involved in co-designing, with partner organisations, initiatives and developments across the district.
• The Ambassador role suits anyone that is willing to connect with others and is passionate about having their say on issues affecting older people.
• Ambassadors will also be invited to attend regular Age-friendly Forum meetings and will be able to contribute to an Age-friendly Newsletter.
