Background

As a result of one of the commission's recommendations, Norwich City Council supported the formation of an older people's forum for Norwich.
Purpose and aims
The role of the forum is to ensure that the voices of older people are heard and that they influence the way in which services are planned and delivered, maintaining and improving the wellbeing of older people living in and around Norwich.
We also aim to work effectively with Community Services and Health in raising the profile of older people’s needs in times when we are seeing serious reductions in public service budgets.
Some of the organisations now working with NOPF are Age UK Norwich, Norwich City Council, Norwich and District Carers Forum, NHS Norfolk, Norwich City Wide Board, Norfolk Healthwatch, Norwich Sheltered Housing Tenants' Forum, Norfolk and Norwich Pensioners' Association, Norwich Older People’s Inclusion Project and Norfolk PCT.
Summary of involvement
When/where do we meet?
Our public meetings are usually held in Blackfriars Hall on topics of current interest to older people living in Norwich.
