A CAMPAIGN group that champions older people in Burnley is hoping to attract more members.

Burnley Over-50s’ Forum plays a vital role in promoting older residents in the borough.

Coun Julie Cooper, leader of Burnley Council, said: “It’s very important that their voices are heard, locally and at a national level. The Over-50s’ Forum can play a vital role in getting the views and concerns of older people across and I can assure them the council will listen.”
