Helping older people have a voice
Last year our advocacy team supported over 1,700 people over the age of 61 in Newcastle, Gateshead and South Tyneside. Every day we help older people to be involved in decisions that affect their lives so on International Day of Older People we want to celebrate them and share our role in making sure their voices are heard.
