Objectives

Our mission is to be recognised as Newcastle's member-led organisation working for the city's older people, so that they may live a respected, fulfilled later life.   Older refers to anyone aged over 50.  We provide opportunities for older people to be better informed and to build their skills and confidence in having a say about the issues that matter to them.  Our work raises the profile of older people and their contribution to society and helps to bring about change and improvements in their lives. 

Activities

We keep older people informed of opportunities and issues affecting their lives by disseminating information in hard copy; on-line and through face-to-face information days; by providing older people with opportunities to share their views and experiences; by undertaking research with partner organisations.  We lobby for change by engaging with the organisations with the power and resources to make a difference.
