Welcome to the Wealden Senior Citizens' Partnership. This focus group for older people was launched on 29th September 2005 with the object of promoting the interests and welfare of senior citizens in Wealden.

Older people are an under-used resource.  We have a great deal of knowledge and understanding of the real problems facing our society at this time.  More and more groups across the country are being formed to give older people a platform to make their views known.  Our partnership is one such group.
  • WSCP  is an independent, voluntary community group representing the views of our members.
  • WSCP liaises with and assists other groups when a common theme is identified.
  • WSCP publishes a regular newsletter (“Grey Matters”) to keep in touch with all our members.

ImageThe main function of the Partnership is to put forward a positive view of senior citizens in society and to help older people enjoy an active and independent life. It also acts as an umbrella organisation, making representations to influential partner organisations in the public and private sectors and disseminating information to the many senior citizens' organisations in the towns and villages of Wealden which it is hoped will want to become part of the Partnership. Membership, which is free, is open to all senior citizens living or working in Wealden, as well as any organisations and individuals of any age who have concerns connected with older people.
