Advice NI is creating a website focusing on older persons' rights and is looking for your "advice". It will be an essential tool for advisers in the field as well as any groups or individuals that work with older people, such as social workers or carers. The website will also be a vital rights reference for the older people themselves.

 
Any information that is already available online will be linked rather than the content reproduced.
 
The project is in its infancy and older person focused groups such as Access to Benefits, Age NI, Age Sector Platform, CARDI, Engage with Age and Belfast City Council are already guiding us. However Advice NI would like advice and feedback from the wider voluntary and community sector and individuals.
 
The project is conscious that many older members of the community are isolated from such groups and/or have no internet experience. Your ideas are very welcome on how they can be included in the study so that their voice is heard too.
 
We welcome contributors aged 50-59 as a basis for potential further study, although we are particularly interested in collecting information from those who are over 60 years of age as they are the main targets of this part of our research. If you are, or have contact with people in the target age group, please encourage them to complete the survey at www.surveymonkey.com/s/THMGQDQ .
