West of Scotland Seniors Forum (formerly Strathclyde Elderly Forum) is Scotland's foremost seniors grassroots representative organisation. We represent the interests of 400,000 seniors in the 12 unitary authority areas in the West of Scotland and are the umbrella body for 90+ local Senior Forums.

West of Scotland Seniors Forum believes that every older person is entitled to a secure, dignified and independent  retirement.

We work towards raising awareness of issues affecting older people and ensuring that decision-makers and service providers are informed about older peoples needs and views on service provision and other matters affecting them.
