4: Involvement

An age-friendly society in which everyone can contribute and participate is a better society. When we actively promote the inclusion and engagement of older people in all aspects of civic, public and cultural life, everyone benefits.

The many voluntary organisations that are working across Ireland to promote involvement and highlight its importance need to be supported in their work.

Our new government must embrace participation and should also offer practical steps to take account of older people’s opinions on the issues, policies and services that affect all our lives.
