Changing Ageing Partnership

Aims and Objectives

The Changing Ageing Partnership (CAP) was established in December 2005 to improve the quality of life for older people. Funded by The Atlantic Philanthropies for five years, the partnership brings together:-

- Age Concern Northern Ireland
- Help the Aged
- Queen’s University Belfast
- Workers’ Educational Association

CAP’s vision is of a strong, informed voice capable of challenging attitudes and approaches to ageing.

The goal is to empower older people to transform how they are viewed by sections within our society. To realise this, the programme will develop a holistic agenda that recognises the multiple realities of older people’s lives alongside issues traditionally associated with older people such as health and social care, economic independence and community safety.
