Evesham Older People's Forum
About us
Welcome to the Evesham & District Pensioners Association (Older Peoples Forum - Evesham Area of Wychavon) an active voice for the over 50s.
The Association believes that all pensioners, also those on early retirement and people reaching retirement age need and should expect a dignified comfortable and independant retirement.
Our aims
The Association is not tied to any political party and our aim is to bring together people, by holding Open Forum Meetings to ensure:
1) To ensure that the widest possible range of older people can make known their views, wishes and needs.
2) To raise awareness on issues affecting older people.
3) To co-operate with bodies in support of these aims.
4) To provide a means for statutory and other bodies to consult older people.
5) To influence decision making in any organisation which effects the lives of older people.
