Older Persons' Working Group

The OPWG is a space for a network of organisations who represent the views of residents aged 55+ to meet, share information and help to shape the way the Borough develops in the future.

The OPWG was established following a report by the Older Persons' Advisory Forum and approved by the RBWM Health and Wellbeing Board in 2022; the terms of reference being to:

• Promote awareness of issues facing older people in RBWM

• Provide a channel for older people to influence the development of local services, particularly those provided or commissioned by RBWM

• Identify gaps or improvements in the services facing older people and as a partnership work to resolve them.

• Improve older people’s access to information on local services

• Support older people taking an active role as citizens, either as individuals, through partner organisations, and membership of OPAF.

See the Minutes and Actions from the meeting in the adjacent section for more information.
