Welcome to the Did you know section of the ARK Ageing Programme. Every month we will highlight some useful facts and figures relating to age and ageing in Northern Ireland.

The Northern Ireland Executive has pledged in the Programme for Government 2011-2015, to extend age discrimination legislation to the provision of goods, facilities and services (GFS) during the lifetime of this administration.

Full information is available on the AgeNI website.
