Age-friendly Business Award

Please find our updated November 2021 Age-friendly Business Newsletter here.

The TED Age-friendly Business Officer has created a Toolkit that gives an insight into creating, maintaining and evaluating the Age-friendly Business Award.

Do you want to be known in your local area as ‘Age-friendly’ and be recognised for providing an excellent service and environment for older customers? Or do you use a local business that provides outstanding service and want to let others know?

The free TED Age-friendly Business Award gives customers the confidence to know that businesses meet a range of criteria, from a clutter free environment to excellent customer service.
