Active Retirement 3

Active Retirement Ireland (formerly The Federation of Active Retirement Associations) is holding its 22nd AnnualGeneral Meeting this year in Salthill, Galway on the 16th of April 2008.

When the Active Retirement movement started in Dunlaoghaire in 1978 it is unlikely its Founders could haveenvisaged the national organisation that is in existence today.

What still remains constant; however, are the aims of the Active Retirement movement:

1. To promote the status of older people,2. To challenge negative stereotyping by promoting older people as the active agents of their own lives rather than

the passive recipients of services and activities undertaken on our behalf,3. To combat the sense of isolation frequently experienced by older people,4. To improve quality of life. Many statutory bodies are concerned with the implications of an ageing population in

15 or 20 year’s time – we seek to provide for older groups “now”.5. To provide opportunities for people to share in lifelong learning experiences including social, educational, creative

and recreational activities.6. To provide the opportunity to actively contribute skills and expertise to the benefit of the wider community,7. We ultimately aspire to a society where older people are recognised as full citizens and not simply as dependants

or burdens straining the purse strings. These aims are enduring and underpin the philosophy of the ActiveRetirement movement all over the country.

The activities we engage in are obviously important in themselves but what is more important is the effect the comingtogether of older people has on one another and on their communities after a lifetime of experience and “know how”.

National Executive & DevelopmentThe National Executive, since the 2007 annual general meeting,has convened at board level on 14 occasions. The NationalExecutive receives and reviews monthly financial, regional, sub-committee and public relations reports. The National Executiveapproves and ratifies new affiliation applications. Also duringthe latter half of 2007 the National Executive in conjunctionwith the Regional Chairpersons and Committees conductedseven regional meetings to consider and unanimously receiveapproval for a Five Year Plan for Active Retirement Ireland. TheExecutive has approved proposals to form a company, limitedby guarantee – Active Retirement Ireland Limited. More andmore Charities and Community and Voluntary Groups areadopting this procedure which gives organisations protectionin the event, for example, of claims or lawsuits.

The Delegates who attended our 2007 AGM in the Amber Springs Hotel in Wexford were informed that the number ofactive retirement associations (ARAs) established had risen from 397 in 2006 to 425 in 2007. This year saw the establishmentof the 450th association – Banagher Active Retirement in County Offaly. The number of affiliated associations in March2008 has reached 457 with Active Retirement Ireland having affiliated groups in every county in Ireland.

Information & PublicitySports & Leisure Promotions Limited (S&L). This organisation publishes every two months the Senior Times a lifestylemagazine for older people. The magazine is circulated to Secretaries of all affiliated associations and each issuecontains a page devoted to “active retirement news”. S & L staged two weekend Over 50’s Shows in Limerick in May2007 and in the RDS in Dublin in October 2007. Active Retirement Ireland organised information stands at both ofthese shows which generated good interest and a large number of enquiries. Information stands were also taken atregional events in Galway, Tramore, Dun Laoghaire, Westport, Killarney, Waterford, Donegal and Tullamore.

The Senior Times and Active Retirement Ireland organised a series of nationwide tea dances, each event attractingalmost 300 “Fred Astaires” and “Gingers Rogers”. These tea dances are preceded by a presentation on healthy ageingand talks on issues such as osteoporosis and all events have been “sell outs”.

Report for 2007 from the National ExecutiveCommittee of Active Retirement Ireland �


During the year under review Active Retirement Ireland continues to provide speakers contributing to the TherapeuticActivity Programme at the St John of God Hospital in Stillorgan, Co. Dublin. Speakers also present at the monthlyretirement planning courses organised by the Civil Service Training & Development Centre in Tullamore Co Offaly.

Shared Insurance SchemeActive Retirement Ireland manages a Public Liability Insurance scheme specially tailored to meet the insurancerequirements of the members of its affiliated associations. The cover extends to a wide range of listed activities andoutings both in Ireland and also overseas. This insurance is priced on a “per member” basis with a maximum premiumfigure for associations with large memberships. This shared arrangement allows those affiliated associations with smallmemberships to avail of comprehensive public liability insurance cover at highly competitive rates.

Active Retirement WebsiteWork has continued on the revised website of Active Retirement Ireland during the year. A number of organisationsoriginally assisted with the financial cost of this project – Bupa Ireland, Caoga Home and Motor Insurances, GalwayBay/Hudson Bay Hotel Group, Heffernan’s Travel and McGinley Coach Hire and their assistance is gratefullyacknowledged. Links to these Sponsors and other websites of interest will be regularly updated. The volume of ARAsadding their own individual information into the national organisation’s website – www.activeirl.ie is graduallyincreasing A number of examples have now been uploaded to show what information can be made available e.g.Renmore ARA Co. Galway, Wicklow ARA Co. Wicklow, Cahir ARA Co Tipperary and Gorey ARA Co. Wexford.

Older & BolderThe Older & Bolder campaign was originally launched in November 2006 steeredby a consortium of five organisations (Age & Opportunity, Irish HospiceFoundation, Age Action, Irish Senior Citizens Parliament and the Senior HelpLine. The consortium was supported by significant funding from The AtlanticPhilantrophies (AP). Funding for a second phase of Older & Bolder was approvedin January 2008 by AP and the steering consortium has been increased to eightmembers with the addition of Active Retirement Ireland, Alzheimer’s Associationand the Carers’ Association. Older & Bolder Phase 2 aims to achieve a strongermore sustainable ageing sector with increased collaboration and unified voiceinfluencing public attitudes and challenging ageism.

The campaign seeks to translate government strategy on ageing and older people into better policies and practice andincreased resources. Older & Bolder Phase 2 wants older people in Ireland at local, regional and national levels to bebetter informed, supported and motivated to advocate for themselves, to challenge ageism in all its manifestationsand to take an active part in the national agenda.

Tsunami FundThe amount of contributions made to the Tsunami Fund up to the 31st of December 2007has increased to €22,092.00. The principal areas where these funds have been used havebeen in house repairs, fishing boat purchases and repairs and the establishment offurniture workshops and food outlets. The funding has also supported parent andchildren education classes and self employment development projects. All the projects arebased in Moratuwa, in Sri Lanka and are managed by Pastor Layasing de Silva. Gratefulthanks are extended to all those ARAs who have contributed to the Tsunami Fund.

Irish Sports Council GrantsActive Retirement Ireland continues to have representation on the “Go for Life” steering committee which administersthe Irish Sports Council activity grants for Older People. A large number of active retirement associations were amongthe 627 successful applicant groups that shared in the 2007 grant allocation of €350,000. A total of almost €2.3 millionin grants to older peoples groups has been disbursed, under this scheme, over the last seven years. A further round ofthese grants will be announced in August/September 2008.

Growth of Active RetirementThe growth in the Active Retirement movement from its origins in 1978 up to the year 1999 was established throughthe extraordinary commitment of many volunteers and honorary officers. When this commitment was assisted bymodest State core funding of IR£50,000 per annum for 3 years in 2000 the rate of progress and expansion in theorganisation accelerated considerably. The following statistics demonstrate the significant progress achieved sinceformal core funding from the Department of Health & Children was put into place seven years ago.

YEAR ESTABLISHED ASSOCIATIONS

1999 150

2001 175

2003 200

2005 350

2007 425

Total membership has more than doubled from 10,400 (1999) to over 24,500 in 2007 during a period when many socialcommentators are of the opinion that volunteerism in Ireland is declining. The Active Retirement movement is apowerful antidote to cynicism and disengagement. Active Retirement people participate. They help themselves. Theyact to strengthen intergenerational links. Active Retirement combats loneliness and isolation. The movement has muchto contribute to the community and to society in general.

Funding Active RetirementIn 1999, the Minister, at the time, Mr. Tom Moffatt wrote to ActiveRetirement Ireland stating that he was happy to approve a grant ofIR£50,000 per annum from the 1st January 2000 towards theongoing running costs of the national federation. Mr. Moffattadded that the position would be reviewed after three years bywhich time “I would expect to see significant growth nationally inyour federation’s membership.”

Unfortunately, since 2002/2003 our funding position has neverbeen properly reviewed and our core funding (which was originallypaid through the Department of Health and Children and nowthrough the Health Service Executive) has not been increased forthe past four years. Thankfully our affiliated associations votedoverwhelmingly at the 2007 AGM to increase the affiliation fee tothe national organisation from €1 to €5 per Member a decisionwhich will greatly help to stabilize finances in the coming years.
