We believe that Blackburn with Darwen is a good place to live and to grow old. We also recognise that the older people who live in Blackburn with Darwen contribute a great deal of talent, experience and knowledge to our communities. We want to enable our older population to:

• Have a strong voice in influencing local policy and services
• Take and maintain responsibility for their lives
• Remain healthy and active
• Retain their independence
• Be able to access services
• Benefit from and contribute through employment, volunteering and learning
• Live in a safe environment that maintains links with family and friends
• Maintain their roles as partners, carers, grandparents, employees
