Strive for the Summit

Cymru Older People’s Alliance (COPA) is a small charity run by older people for older people so that local Older People’s Forums and Groups can have their voice heard at the national level to Welsh Government and other Public Bodies.

Our strongest public benefit is enabling Older People to have the confidence and access to change the conversation about ageing in Wales to one that it is led from the experience of Older People about our needs i.e., self-determination.

What does COPA do and why it is important

We are an independent, representative, national charity run by Older People for older people in Wales.

We want to make sure that Older People across Wales are listened to, and their opinions acted on in everything that affects them.

We will do this by working in partnership with local Older People’s fora and Older People’s groups across Wales to learn from their experiences and opinions on what will make Wales a great place to grow old.

We will achieve a national “self-determined” voice for local people that feeds directly into both government and national public organisations. We ensure that nothing is developed affecting Older People without Older People being involved in every stage.

There is strength in numbers and a demand for well organised and informed lobbying. Together we can have a greater influence and reach than is feasible from any single local forum.
