The North East Regional Forum on Ageing (Years Ahead) was launched in January 2005. 

The main aim of Years Ahead is to bring together organisations operating at regional level or within the region to identify and promote issues relating to:

• changes in the age-structure of the regional population, and the implications of these changes at all levels
• factors which influence the health and wellbeing of older people, including social attitudes and perceptions of ageing.

Here you can find:

• information about our partners
• general information about Years Ahead
• information about the task groups and their activities
• how to contact us
