Through our Ageing Programme, we seek to bring about lasting change in the lives of older adults, with a special emphasis on those who are disadvantaged and vulnerable because of ageism, poverty or poor health. We aim to help transform how ageing is viewed within society and improve the way older persons are treated by society. We focus on ageing in Bermuda, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and the United States.

Although we have distinct programme objectives for each region, our general aims include ensuring that older adults:

• are treated with dignity and respect;
• are fully empowered to shape their own destinies;
• have access to health and support systems;
• are represented by a strong cadre of leaders; and
• are able to contribute actively their expertise and abilities for the good of society.
