Consultative Forum

The Age NI Consultative Forum was formed in 2010. The purpose of the forum is to identify the needs and concerns of older people (in relation to poverty, health, equality and other issues) and communicate these to Age NI.

We are passionate about having older people at the heart of everything we do. Age NI's Consultative Forum engages with, advises and challenges Age NI on policy issues and on its strategic direction. The work of the forum covers the whole of Northern Ireland and focuses on issues affecting people over the age of 50. It works collaboratively with, and in support of, Age NI.
