Age Action is a member of the Irish Charity Shops Association, the main aim of which is to pool expertise and join forces to promote common interests, and to help members run their shops more effectively and efficiently.
Please look out for the ICSA logo, which is displayed by all members in their shops and also on the collection bag that you receive through your door.
Be aware of bogus collectors and if in doubt ask to see the logo.
As we learn to live with, and recover from, the impact of COVID-19, we have an opportunity to address inequalities experienced by older people, value their role in society, and ensure that the diversity of their voices is heard, informing decisions that affect them. Although events and activities will take place in limited numbers or virtually due to social gathering restrictions, we are hopeful that people of all ages across Ireland will take this opportunity to reflect on these themes within their families, communities, and workplaces.
Maureen Cullinane is 72 but instead of taking it easy, the Cork woman is learning the Irish language, making radio documentaries, hating housework and channelling her inner Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg to train her peers as part of Age Action’s Getting Started computer training. She writes about her experiences for the Age Action blog.
