National Pensioners Convention

National Pensioners Convention The NPC is Britain’s biggest campaigning organisation for older people, with over 1 million members across the UK.

The NPC’s main objective is to promote the welfare and interests of all pensioners. The NPC organises rallies and lobbies of MPs, leads delegations to parliament and makes submissions to government on policies affecting older people. The Convention also stages an annual three-day Pensioners’ Parliament in Blackpool, where up to 2000 representatives discuss issues of concern and share ideas in an a

tmosphere of genuine friendship. The NPC also features regularly in both the local and national media and uses every opportunity to raise awareness of the issues that affect older people. One of the Convention’s priorities is to therefore influence public opinion and where appropriate, secure changes in government policy.
