+ Join us as an organisational representative
Although the network is committed to being led by older people we recognise that representatives of organisations working with older people are important advocates for older people and can be the voice for people who would otherwise not have an opportunity to share their views.
+ How to join
Anyone working for an organisation in Greater Manchester with a connection to older people is eligible to join the network. We have members from charities and small groups and social enterprises, the statutory sector and the private sector. We are committed to improving the lives of older people and this means working together.
