In the following video, Coralie Martin, one of North Norfolk District Council's Community Connectors, explains the fantastic opportunities and resources available to help older people in our district stay connected and active. The following video is courtesy of the Centre for Ageing Better. Businesses that commit to becoming more age friendly will be listed as age friendly on our Age Friendly register below.
In the following video, Sarah Smith from Watsons Property in Sheringham explains the importance of the register and why they signed up to be an Age Friendly business. Sit you down aims to address issues of social isolation and motivate older people to feel confident about leaving their homes and playing an active part in their local communities. It does this by encouraging local businesses and community premises to join the campaign and offering people a chance to sit and 'catch their breath'.
Participating members will receive Sit you down window stickers and chair markers to display. They're also encouraged to go further by making toilet facilities available and offering tea, coffee or a glass of water wherever possible.
When older people see the sticker displayed, they can be sure of a warm welcome and the offer of a seat. There are no strings attached, and there is no pressure to buy anything. If you would like to sign up as an Age Friendly business, offer a seat under the Sit you down scheme, or would like more information, please email agefriendly north-norfolk.
