About us
The Voice of Older People (55+) in the City of Bristol.
Bristol Older People’s Forum (BOPF) represents older people across the city. Formed in 1993 it has nearly 3,000 members aged fifty-five and above.
Our main mission is:
‘For every older person in the city to be an equal, valued and participating member of the community, able to influence policy and decision-making, challenge ageism and promote Bristol as an Age Friendly City.’
Our Manifesto outlines how Bristol must recognise diversity and address inequality to become a great Age Friendly City for everyone.
It sets out the priorities in achieving our aim through influencing key providers and decision makers in the city.
Current collaborative work
We work in collaboration with other organisations including: Bristol Women’s Voice, Bristol Disability Equality Forum, Bristol Disability Equality Commission, Bristol City Council departments and Bristol Beacon.
