Campaign

We want Scotland to be the best place in the world to grow older so we work with older people to campaign and influence decision-makers on the issues that matter most to them.

Older People's Champions

We believe that every one of Scotland’s 32 local authorities should appoint a Councillor as an Older People’s Champion. We are working with the Scottish Older People’s Assembly (SOPA) on a joint campaign to make this happen.
