New Ageing Well Toolkit for Providers (1)

We are excited to share the launch of the Ageing Well Toolkit, designed to support providers working with adults with disabilities as they grow older. Co-produced with people who have lived experience, the toolkit brings together key data, practical guidance, and real stories to help improve outcomes and ensure people can live well with dignity and independence.

Inside the toolkit, you will find:

  • Local and national statistics on ageing and disability
  • Evidence-based recommendations for service delivery
  • A short video featuring powerful lived-experience stories
  • Links to further resources, training, and support

This resource is practical, accessible, and relevant to all providers across Essex. We encourage you to explore it and share widely.
