Objectives

Bramley Elderly Action’s vision is a world where people aged 60 and above have the best possible quality of life and involvement within their communities. We run a wide range of support and activities in Bramley, Swinnow and parts of Stanningley, West Leeds. BEA also manages OWLS, the Leeds Neighbourhood Network Scheme for older people living in Burley, Hyde Park, Little Woodhouse, Headingley and parts of Kirkstall.

We're passionate about making sure older people living in our neighbourhood live happier lives.
