Introduction:
The Kilkenny AFC programme was launched at a public meeting in Kilkenny on 26th March. The Chair of the programme, County Manager Joe Crockett, committed at the meeting to conducting a county wide consultation process, to ensure that the strategy is informed by the views and priorities of older people and their own organisations.
What we want to achieve:
- Ensure that the priorities and ambitions of all key stakeholder groups, particularly older people and their organisations are reflected strongly in the AFC Strategy for Kilkenny
- Build support and interest among older people and other stakeholders in the programme
- Give older people and their organisations a strong sense that their views will influence the final strategy
- Identify mechanisms by which the older adults in Kilkenny can become genuine partners in the ongoing design and delivery of services in the county
How to get involved:
