CATS (Community Action for Tameside Seniors)

Policy and Participation Officer – Older People/Crime and Disorder Reduction
Colin Kirby

CATS is a network for community, voluntary and faith groups who provide activities for people that are over 50 in Tameside – giving the opportunity to meet together, discuss issues important to those over 50, and present these to decision makers.

Who is it for?

Anyone who runs or organises an activity, lunch, social or other type of group for people who are over 50.

What does it do?

CATS can offer information and advice on a whole range of issues from funding to benefits. CATS has an excellent reputation locally for speaking out on issues for people over 50 - help us make it stronger!

How does it work?

CATS is a well established Tameside network that meets quarterly for two hours with a buffet lunch provided.

The meetings are formal but friendly which offers a great opportunity to build links to other groups and networks. We can also provide free transport for people to attend.

CATS links to local decision makers through its attendance at the Older People’s Partnership and the Tameside Strategic Partnership through the Tameside Voice – the ‘network of networks’.

Benefits

A unique opportunity to meet others and make new friends.
The chance to learn about other’s work · Time to share your stories and experience · Be part of creating a voice on behalf of those over 50 · Specialist support when you need help
