Age & Opportunity is the national organisation that provides a range
of opportunities for older people who want to get more involved in
arts and culture, sport and physical activity, civic engagement and
personal development.
Our mission is to enable the best quality of life for us all as we
age. Our vision is of an Ireland where all older people can be more
active, more visible, more creative, more connected, more confident,
more often.
One of our key priorities is to truly understand what ageing in
Ireland means for people today by increasing the dialogue we have with
older persons ? conducting regular research through focus groups and
workshops and by generating more opportunities for feedback across all
of our programmes. We work with local communities and organisations
across the country to run a range of programmes and initiatives in
three key areas:
* Our Arts Programme provides opportunities for us to engage more in
arts and cultural events and initiatives.
* Our Active programme is designed to get us more active and to
participate more in recreational sport and physical activity.
* Our Engage programme offers a range of workshops and learning
initiatives for our own resilience and personal development as well as
opportunities for us to play an active role in our community.
