Engagement & development questions

Please support the Greater Manchester Older People’s Network (GMOPN) by completing this short survey and help shape our development as a voice for older people in Greater Manchester. We want to hear the views of people who are not currently members as well as people who are already involved in the network.
 
The GMOPN aims to be a representative voice of people aged 50+ living and working within Greater Manchester. We aim to make sure that people can influence policy, strategy and services that will affect them and that people can use their experience to have a positive impact. The network includes voluntary members and organisations that represent older people. We meet, act and work on projects, using our experiences to make things better for everyone. We challenge ageism and campaign for change.
 
We want to ensure that our priorities and projects are as representative as possible of our members and the wider population of people aged 50+ in Greater Manchester and the organisations that work with them. Please support us by completing this short survey and help shape our development as a voice for older people in Greater Manchester. This survey is anonymous.
