Older Persons Partnership
The ‘Basingstoke Older Persons Partnership‘ is an opportunity for groups working with older people to discuss any issues, receive and share advice and guidance, network and raise the profiles of groups involved.
The partnership allows interaction with various organisations and other forums, identify what services are on offer, identify gaps in provision, try to work better together, avoid duplication or confusion and promote services and information wherever possible. Issues to be considered are getting more people to utilise services, gain required volunteers, identify required training, transport and funding plus publicise available provision and encourage networking.
Below are a selection of organisations related to Older Adults. Other local organisations are available via the “Find Local Organisations” search on the left of this webpage.
