Please see the Age Age-Friendly Dorset Survey from Dorset Council.

Dorset is on a journey to become an Age-friendly county. Imagine a Dorset where growing older means living better, and where every generation, disability, and background enjoys life as we age. The first step will be to survey people from across Dorset and understand what life is like for older people in the community.

The survey is for all adults 50 years and older. It covers 8 key areas of life, from health and housing to social life and employment. It will provide us with a well-rounded picture of what life is like for people, as they grow older in Dorset.

We would be very grateful if you could be involved in circulating our survey with older adults you interact with in your work/groups.
We will be sending you some paper surveys next week to get you started and can post out more as you need them. But we have also created a link to the survey online for those who prefer. You can access this through the following link, or via the QR code below.
