New blog explores how Bolton is transforming ageing through a bold, co-produced Age Friendly Strategy

In this new Housing LIN guest blog, Julie Riley and Lauren McKechnie, Co-Chairs of Bolton's Age Well Partnership, explore how Bolton is transforming ageing in the borough.

Moving beyond strategy documents, the Age Friendly Strategy 2025–28 is a bold, co-produced commitment to enable older people to live with dignity, connection and purpose. By embedding lived experience at every level, championing collaboration across communities, and prioritising action over bureaucracy, Bolton is rewriting the rules on delivery.

This blog reveals how distributed leadership, real-world responsiveness, and collective accountability are driving meaningful change for current and future generations of older people.
