The Gateshead Older People’s Assembly
In 1999 a group of older people got together to
form an organisation to discuss areas of concern
effecting older people in Gateshead.
With lots of hard work they were able to influence
positive change in service provision and ensure
proper consultation with older people was
achieved.
Due to their success they were deemed the best
organisation to become an Assembly for Older
People.
What’s Next ?
The next few years will be an exciting time for us
all. We are looking at expanding The Assembly so
that we reach every area within our borough.
How ?
With your help we will look at the real issues that
matter to you and your local community and speak
to our partners from across all sectors with in
Gateshead and at a regional level.
Empowering Older People We see your voice as a powerful tool to enable
your opinions to be heard and acted upon.
Your voice has become and will continue to be
recognised as the main force to shape policy and
service provision towards our older population.
Through your Assembly we see the issues that are
connected with older people at the forefront of
strategic thinking with every agency in Gateshead
