Live Long and Prosper - Towards a quality of life strategy for
Islington residents aged 55+

Dear Reader
We want to improve the quality of life for all residents of the borough aged 55+.
We welcome 'Live long and prosper' as a great step in the right direction. The key starting point was the views and opinions of the older residents themselves, these have been included and already work has begun to tackle the issues raised.
The great strength of this document is that it does not belong to any one organisation, it belongs to the borough. It begins by laying out a clear vision for older people by older people. We all have to work with service providers, businesses, the council, voluntary sector, NHS, or older people themselves to make this vision a reality.
'Live long and prosper' aims to help empower people to plan for a healthy older age, as well as making it easier for people to access information and services in the borough after retirement. What ever your life experiences we aim to ensure that in Islington you can have the opportunities to meet your needs and that all over 55s have the best possible quality of life.
There's something in here for everyone and we know that together we can 'Live long and prosper'.
