About Age Action

“Age Action’s vision is for a society that enables all older people to participate and to live full, independent lives.”

Age Action is Ireland’s leading advocacy organisation for older people. Age Action works to ensure that older people’s voices are heard at the highest level of Government and that the lived experience of older people informs policy responses to their needs.

Everything they do is based on a recognition of the diversity of identity and situation among older people and a concern for equality for all older people. In addressing ageing, Age Action’s work includes a concern to influence perspectives on and responses to ageing.
