What is Partnership with Older People (POP)?
Partnership with Older People is a thriving movement working to
change attitudes and services in order to achieve an improved
society for older people in Suffolk. It is a network with older
people at its heart in every sense. It brings together older people
with others to look how they can be helped to remain independent
and have an enhanced quality of life. By using the resources of
local organisations and older people themselves, POP spreads
information on different aspects of life that helps to promote a
culture of independence and self sufficiency.
