Projects

1. The Care and Repair Programme was established by Age Action to carry out minor repairs for older and vulnerable people free of charge, to give them access to reliable tradesmen for larger jobs and to provide a befriending service. We plan to continue this service in 2017.

3. One of our cornerstone services which we will carry out in 2017 is our information service on older people's issues and services throughout Ireland. Trained information officers provide information or referrals to the appropriate organisations. This service deals with a wide range of issues including: entitlements, accommodation issues, health concerns, security and safety issues and more.

4. The Generations Together programme which was launched in April 2011, focuses on establishing new intergenerational projects and supporting existing projects. The programme supports practice that creates opportunities for older and younger people to meet and learn from each other and to bridge the divide between generations. It promotes inclusion and builds on the positive resources that different generations have to offer to each other and those around them.
