Mission Statement
Age Cymru Powys will work to improve quality of life for older people* in Powys.
*All people can be in need of help at certain times of their lives. Older people in need will be those who are isolated geographically, socially or economically in Powys or who have health needs which impact upon their lives. This will be the group for whom our services will be focused.
Our Aims are to:
Provide excellent quality services tailored to the needs of older people in Powys.
Raise the profile of age issues and enable the voices of older people to positively influence policy and provision.
Be a valued, effective, reputable and expert older people’s support organisation.
Collaborate with other organisations across Powys and Wales enhancing services and avoiding duplication.
As a nation, we're living longer.
It's in our interest to create an age friendly Wales today.
What does an 'age friendly Wales' look like? In an age friendly Wales, older people would not experience barriers to independent living. They will enjoy good health; live safely; will be free from discrimination; and will remain actively engaged within their community.
By developing communities, advocacy and policy changes, we all stand to gain from empowering older people.
