Active Wales

Active Wales is the largest independent organization of retired people in Wales. It aims to promote the interests of retired people especially social inclusion.

Volunteers Needed.

We'll soon be launching our new telephone listening service for older people who have feelings of loneliness or isolation. We're looking for volunteers to be a listening ear and make someone’s day.

Please get in touch. [email protected]

Hurry! Don’t miss the chance to have your say.

Thank you to everyone who got us to our first 50 signatures! Who can help us reach 10,000?

Access to public toilets is a public health issue that affects us all, preventing some from being part of their communities. Join us on our campaign by signing:
