Age Scotland's mission statement is: ''"Age Scotland’s contribution to the achievement of that vision is to act in partnership with others as the national older people’s charity for Scotland in promoting a better quality of life for all Scotland’s older people, but giving greatest priority to those facing multiple and serious disadvantage in later life. We will act to promote a healthy and active lifestyle and promote a positive approach to the natural process of ageing.'' ''We place older people’s wellbeing, voices and experiences at the centre of all we do."'' 〔(Age Scotland Annual Report 2010 p. 1 )〕 The charity aims to act in partnership with others as the national older people’s charity for Scotland in promoting a better quality of life for the nation’s older people through: * Campaigning and influencing on identified issues of concern, ensuring that older people’s voices are heard at local authority, Holyrood and Westminster levels, as well as globally through lobbying and campaigning activities and strategic partnerships. * Supporting older people through the Age Scotland helpline, a phone information service available to over 50s; and through factsheets and downloadable information from its website. * Working with local older people’s groups across Scotland to help build stronger communities through its development staff and grants programme.〔(Age Scotland Annual Report 2010, p. 2 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Age Scotland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
