Hospitality venues are important social spaces where people OF ALL ages come together to connect with others. This Toolkit for Age-inclusive Hospitality Venues has been created to help venues, such as cafés and pubs, become more age-friendly places that help facilitate social connections with and between older customers in their local community.
There is nothing kinder than a welcoming smile and it could help someone to live a happier, healthier and longer life. The toolkit also offers tips for hospitality businesses to utilise otherwise empty spaces during quieter hours for social good and to improve business resilience.
