engAGING - a network for Older People's Groups

Who We Are

engAGING is a network of community groups, voluntary organisations and faith groups who work with older people and are committed to making a difference to the lives of older people now and in the future. We share information about services, provide a collective voice representing the views of older people and engage older people in consultation about their needs and concerns.

engAGING has been influential in the development of the Dudley Borough Older People's Strategy and is commenting on the development of the Local Area Agreement in relation to priorities for older people. The network is facilitated by Dudley Age Concern.
