Formed in 1993, Bristol Older People’s Forum (BOPF) represents older people across the city, with nearly 3,000 members aged 55 and above.
The organisation’s main mission is:
‘For every older person in the city to be an equal, valued and participating member of the community, able to influence policy and decision-making, challenge ageism and promote Bristol as an Age Friendly City.’
