Older Peoples Strategy Forum

An Older Peoples Strategy Forum exists in the Vale of Glamorgan to do the following:-

• Ensure that older people’s opinions/views have an effect on decision and policy making. This is both at a local level in the Vale of Glamorgan and at a national level. The people involved take an active and equal part in that process.
  
  
• Involve members with their local community, planning of local services and infrastructures
  
  
• Establish and develop a platform to challenge age discriminatory practice
  
  
• Develop policies to tackle poverty and social exclusion
  
  
• Promote the development of integrated services to meet older people’s needs
  
• Develop a better community transport system
  
  
• Establish and develop ways of promoting a positive image of older people

You can join the forum and ensure the strategy works for you:

• If you are aged 50 or over
• If you live or work in the Vale of Glamorgan
