Cymru Older People’s Alliance (COPA) are delighted to support the publication of a new Forum Resource Manual for Older People’s forums that Age Cymru has developed.
The new Resource Manual is designed to help forums and groups to develop and ensure the views of older people can be heard and acted upon. The Manual provides comprehensive information and advice on how to set up and run a successful forum. Guidance is also included on how to campaign, on publicity, and how to engage with politicians at both a local and national level.
As the National Charity for local forums and groups, we believe it is vital that independent representation of older people by older people on a self-determined basis can flourish and influence decisions at a local and national level. This Resource Manual will support that aim and provides high quality information and guidance for local forums and groups. COPA have also published related guidance for Forums on an Operating Framework – Framwork for Forums Guidance Final1 (copacharity.com) and Governance of Forums COPA Governance Guidance final 1 (copacharity.com)
