Guidance for Article Author

We want to encourage all 50+ Forum members throughout Wales to engage with this website. As part of that, this area of the site is dedicated to articles contributed by them.

  1. Articles should relate to Wales and involve some input from the originator. The latter can be any over 50 resident in Wales (doesn’t have to be the VM)

Articles could include:

  1. Relating to the Forum that offer some insights into what currently impacts or occupies the Forum. Share the successes that they have had with building alliances and getting funding.
  1. Items of more general interest that might include poems (note Poetry Together), recipes etc
  1. Proposals (in brief) could be sent to the editorial board (copa.communications@aol.com) before they commit to further effort.
  2. Wherever possible, pictures help make a great story.
