As we begin to look forward to life after this pandemic, Age NI wants to hear from older people about what’s important to them now and looking ahead to the future.

We are also planning a Pensioners’ Parliament for later in 2021 and we will use this opportunity to reflect the issues of most importance to older people.

Our Lived Experience 2021 survey will help us prepare for this event by highlighting the issues of most importance and ensuring we raise these with our elected representatives, policy-makers and decision-takers. 

Please help us to promote this survey with older people.

Lived Experience 2021 survey uses a ranking approach to determine what matters most to someone.  We ask people to rank, from 1 to 5, the issues that are of most importance to them. One (1) is the most important and five (5) is the least important.  The survey is short and should take 5 – 10 minutes to complete.

Here’s how you can help.  Throughout the month of March, please:

•  Invite older people to complete the survey. Here’s the link for those who can access the survey online:  https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/LivedExperienceSurveyex
• Offer to support them to complete it if that’s safe and appropriate e.g. during a check in phone call or similar contact
• If they can’t do it online with or without your help, we can send out hard copies of the survey with Freepost envelopes so you can post them out or circulate and return to us – phone 028 9024 5729 or email [email protected] to request
• If you are aged 55 or over, complete the survey yourself https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/LivedExperienceSurveyex
• Promote our survey on social media – contact [email protected] for materials for this
