Current Issues

Our Ongoing Campaigns

We are currently engaged in a number of projects, both national and local, aimed at improving the lives of older people.

The national issues include finance, welfare, equality, age discrimination and health and social care. Locally, a key area is the development of an Older Peoples' Strategic Partnership, which will identify the issues and aspirations of older people and develop a strategy to address them.

• Reduce the isolation experienced by many older people.
• Reduce the number of older people living in poverty.
• Ensure effective social care in the home is there for all those in need.
• Provide and improve transport.
• Provide and improve leisure services specifically for the elderly.
• Provide facilities that allow the elderly to continue their lifelong learning process.
