Description: OPAAL UK work to ensure that all older people can speak up about their rights, needs and wants. Our overall aim is that everyone, irrespective of their circumstances, can enjoy a rewarding, safe and fulfilling life in their later years.
This charity exists to promote and develop independent advocacy services for older people, and those who support them – in whatever way they engage with older people. We encourage everyone, ranging from older individuals and their family and friends to professionals dealing with older people, to learn about the power of independent advocacy, so that the benefits for older people of living in a way that makes them happy, safe and fulfilled are delivered in their own networks and communities.
We are a membership organisation, and we are proud to champion the fantastic work undertaken by those working towards ensuring older people’s needs, wants and rights are protected and promoted. Our role includes campaigning on behalf of our members, supporting them with resources, building partnerships and sharing good practice in our community.
OPAAL is a national infrastructure organisation and we work to establish standards and quality frameworks which can be adopted by new and existing service providers to deliver improved independent advocacy for all older people, particularly those most vulnerable. We are also working very hard to influence the provision of independent advocacy for older people.
