Older & Bolder’s Vision and Purpose

Older & Bolder’s vision - Older & Bolder’s vision is of an Ireland that affirms ageing and the rights of all older people, enabling everyone to live and die with confidence and dignity as equal, respected and involved members of society.

Older & Bolder’s statement of purpose - Older & Bolder is an alliance of non-governmental organisations that champions the rights of all older people, and seeks to combat ageism, acting as a catalyst for:

• Supporting older people, through our member organisations, as active participants in shaping an Ireland that promotes the welfare and quality of life of all citizens.
• Positively influencing and shaping beliefs and values, attitudes and opinion regarding ageing and older people.
• Valuing the role of older people in the community and understanding the diversity of older people, including those with a disability.
• Promoting an age-friendly society where decisions are informed by the expressed needs and preferences of older people and evidence-based research.
