We meet at the Linskill Centre, Linskill Terrace, North Shields. Alternate Tuesday mornings 10.30 - 12.30
The purpose of the Forum is to provide an effective voice for all older people in the Borough of North Tyneside, who are over 50 and retired, on issues which affect their quality of life, health and wellbeing.
|
Set up by by a group of older people who are concerned that decisions are being taken on issues which affect our lives, such as local health, leisure and support services, environment, transport and policing without consultation or real consideration of our needs.
We bring together older people and decision-makers through locality meetings, events and conferences, giving older people the opportunity to speak up for themselves. The Forum is also represented on various statutory groups relating to issues affecting the health and well-being of older people. Our committee comprises 12 volunteers who work to inform and consult with as many older people as possible, by way of meetings, newsletters and leaflets. The Forum employs a
part-time Development Worker and a part-time Admin Worker funded through a grant from the Northern Rock Foundation.
Our membership is made up of individuals who are over 50 and retired and groups which work with and support older people within the borough of North Tyneside.
