Set up over twenty years ago, the Network’s original objective was to create opportunities for older people to lead more active, stimulating and rewarding lives-and it has certainly succeeded in this. Today,more than sixty Groups are affiliated to it, spread throughout Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire and Moray,with a membership of over a thousand. 

and is open to all 50+ Groups and Organizations in the North East on payment of a small fee.
