Age Scotland considers that the group of council Older People’s Champions could, working together, be an authoritative collective voice for the older people of Scotland. Appointed Champions have previously met together on a virtual basis, initially twice a year but with some Champions keen to explore scope for more frequent meetings.

Appointing a Champion who participates in a wider group of this nature provides an opportunity to voice local issues on a national level, to exchange ideas, and to be a go-to group when the Scottish Government wishes to consult older people, or on older people’s issues.
