Government & Parliament

Government‚ Parliament and politics are major influences on the lives of older people. We actively promote older people's interests to Government and politicians from across the political parties. Our Government and Parliamentary Affairs team works with key decision makers to promote our campaigns‚ raise older people’s issues up the political agenda and influence Government policy.

We work hard to engage parliamentarians on a range of key issues of importance to older people; from income to transport‚ housing to employment.

We were delighted to be voted one of the most effective campaigning charities by MPs in a recent poll. (NFP Synergy 2005)
