Welcome

Welcome to the Evesham & District Pensioners Association (Older Peoples Forum - Evesham Area of Wychavon) an active voice for the over 50s.

The Association believes that all pensioners, also those on early retirement and people reaching retirement age need and should expect a dignified comfortable and independant retirement.

The Association is not tied to any political party and our aim is to bring together people, by holding Open Forum Meetings to ensure:

1) To ensure that the widest possible range of older people can make known their views, wishes and needs.

2) To raise awareness on issues affecting older people.

3) To co-operate with bodies in support of these aims.

4) To provide a means for statutory and other bodies to consult older people.

5) To influence decision making in any organisation which effects the lives of older people.

Open Older Peoples Forum Meeting takes place on the 4th Tuesday of the month, 2pm - 4pm at the Evesham Town Hall Market Place, Evesham. Where we offer help and friendship.

We have an active Management Committe who are consulted by Worcestershir County Council, Wychavon District Council, Evesham Town Council, Worcestershire NHS and others both local and national issues and policies affecting older people.
We coordinate the above through the EDPA Speaking Up For Age Action Group.

We have a member of the Management Committee who co-ordinates the Social Club Action Group who organize "Social events. The Action Croup also organize, Theatre Visits, Coach Trips, and any other activities our members wish to partake in.

Our activities include Speakers at the meetings.
