Older People Doing it for Themselves : Accessing Information, Advice and Advocacy

This report is based on the Signpost project: an innovative scheme, devised and run by older people for the benefit of people who are older, both now and in the future.

It recognises that what older people want now is not necessarily what they will want in the 15-20 years time and considers the role advancing technology will probably play.

The report suggests that each generation of older people needs to have easy access to the right kind of information, advice and advocacy to enable them to be contributors to society rather than just consumers.
