Welcome
To the Voice of Experience Forum Working with and for Older People in North Lanarkshire
The Voice of Experience Forum is an independent recognised charity working throughout North Lanarkshire to ensure that older people’s voices are being heard.
Voice of Experience Forum work in partnership with a number of organisations such as North Lanarkshire Council, NHS Lanarkshire, The Pension Service, Age Concern Scotland etc to ensure that the views and opinions of older people in North Lanarkshire are being heard.
We have been working within this partnership to develop a strategy for older people living and working in North Lanarkshire called “Living Well in North Lanarkshire – A quality of life strategy 2007-2012”.
This strategy will help ensure that older people in North Lanarkshire have a better quality of life, it will also compliment the Scottish government strategy for Scotland “All our futures” – planning for a Scotland with an ageing population which can be accessed on the Scottish Government website
The Voice of Experience Forum are always keen to hear the views and opinions of older people so if you or your organisation would like to meet with the Development Worker this can be arranged at any time.
Voice of Experience Forum 2012 Calendar is now ready!
The aim of this calendar is to provide you with information relating to issues that affect older people and contact details that you might need in the future.
If you would like a FREE copy or copies of the calendar, please contact Maureen on

Fear of crime should not stop you enjoying life to the full. Overall‚ older people are less likely than other age groups to be victims of crime. However‚ one type of criminal may try to target older people.
Bogus callers‚ also known as distraction burglars‚ try to trick their way into your home to steal your money and valuables while your attention is elsewhere.
Most callers are genuine and mean you no harm‚ but bogus callers can often seem very plausible and will try to fool you.

The principal policy goal of the Reshaping Care for Older People programme is to optimise independence and wellbeing for older people at home or in a homely setting. The implications of the current financial situation and demographic changes make this a challenging task, as an increasing number of people will require improved services, care and support.
