The Age-friendly Tyburn project was funded through Ageing Better in Birmingham and was a two-year initiative to investigate the degree to which the physical environment of Tyburn contribute to or exacerbate social isolation of older people.

This project was one of five that form part of Ageing Better in Birmingham’s Local Action Plan for the Tyburn area. All Local Action Plans looked at addressing the underlying root causes of older adults’ social isolation within the area.

The requirements of this project were to design, deliver and produce:

1. An audit of the built environment, with clear findings and recommendations;
2. A plan setting out how the steps necessary for establishing Tyburn as an Age-Friendly neighbourhood can best be implemented over the longer term (five to ten years).

Here you can read findings of the audit process, and conclusions and long-term plan that will enable the delivery of an ‘age-friendly’ Tyburn neighbourhood.

The initial stages of the project were about exploring and auditing the physical environment and identifying opportunities and ideas to make positive changes. The audit lead to the development and trialling of some of these ideas to enhance the neighbourhood environment so that it becomes more age-friendly and easier to access. The project was delivered by Sustrans and ran until June 2020.
