Who we are and what we do
Our organisation has been in existence for over a year, and following the initial set up has achieved some quite remarkable results. Firstly from setting up a small body with people from many diverse backgrounds, combined with the very valuable assistance and encouragement from Wirral Borough Council working in conjunction with Age Concern.
 
Our Recognition
This has evolved into the recognition of the constructive contribution being made by elderly people in assisting and resolving issues that specifically have effect on those in the community, aged from 50 years plus.
 
Our respective Sub Committee chairperson’s and Committee Members have established direct links with The National Health Service both at Major Hospital level and Wirral Primary Care Trust, Elected Members of National Parliament and local Authority Administrators. 

Working in close co-opperation with AGE Concern and Wirral Borough CouncilI for information and advice contact.
