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.
Partnership working
