GMOPN Development Survey

The GMOPN is currently part of the Ambition for Ageing Programme. Ambition for Ageing launched in 2015 and is due to complete in 2020. The GMOPN is well supported within Greater Manchester and we are currently exploring future options for sustainability beyond 2020.

Please support us to do this by completing this short survey and help shape our development as a voice for Older People in Greater Manchester.
