All Our Tomorrow’s Partnership Board

The Partnership seeks to establish and promote a shared strategic vision for Older People in Stockport with particular emphasis on maximising the independence of people in later life. This demands that all service providers are encouraged to think about and develop their services for people in later life in a way that will improve quality of life and wellbeing

The Partnership is clear that the more successful it is at encouraging mainstreaming of broader wellbeing issues and improving the outcomes for older people, the more the need to rely on the health and social care services will be reduced. The Partnership is concerned equally, therefore, with issues and services that improve the quality of life of older people and help to enable them to live independently for as long as possible.

The All Our Tomorrows strategy seeks to take into account the needs and aspirations of older people according the following seven themes:

• housing and the home
• neighbourhood
• social activities, social networks and keeping busy
• getting out and about
• income
• information
• health and healthy living

Cutting across each issue is the wish of the Partnership to ensure the meaningful involvement of all older people in the planning, design and delivery of services.
