Brent Pensioners Forum
The Brent Pensioners Forum, founded in 1987, serves as a vital independent advocate for the older people in the London Borough of Brent. Our organisation actively promotes the interests of older people by fostering meaningful collaborations between older residents and various agencies that work on their behalf. With a strong focus on community involvement and advocacy, the Forum seeks to ensure that the voices of older individuals are heard and respected in local governance and policy-making.
​
The Forum is affiliated with the Greater London Forum for Older People and supports the National Pensioners Convention, reinforcing its commitment to the broader welfare of older people across the region. We pride ourselves on being a non-party political entity, which allows us to focus solely on the needs and rights of our members without political bias.
