We've been in operation since 1989, offering a wide range of services, all tailored for the over 50's.

We adopt shared governance as part of our organisational culture which means that our customers, volunteers, partners and staff have a strong voice in what and how the decisions of the organisation are made.

We ask, we listen and we focus on the needs of our customers, this enables us to provide the right services. Our Mission is – “to enhance the health and well-being of older people by promoting quality-assured activity, information and care; ensuring that older people have opportunity for choice and continued independence".
