ParliamentHelp the Aged Policy website

Help the Aged is right at the heart of government and politics, working to influence public policy so that it better serves the needs of older people. We consult older people, research the issues that matter to them, and aim to persuade political and governmental figures to implement policy that is in older people's interests.

This site gives an overview of each policy area in which we work, with documents including policy statements, consultation responses and articles. It is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in policy, from those who work in the area, to older people's groups and forums.
