Petition Minister for Older People
More details
The Older People's Champions Network is seeking your support for their petition to Her Majesty's Government to create the post of Minister for Older People. We believe that an Ageing Population brings huge opportunities and challenges for change in how older people are seen as active members of every community across the UK.
We believe that this requires a Ministerial Focus to ensure that all parts of the government together with the private sector hear the voices of older people
The Champions Network has been lobbying the Prime Minister and would welcome your support.
Please add your signature to this petition and help create a focus that could change the lives of today's older people and tomorrow's older people.
Please remember that you don't have to be old to sign this petition.
On behalf of the Network Members
Councillor Margaret Sidebottom Network Chair
Older People's Champion Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council
