Website Design
We have been working with Active Ireland for over 8 years and the most recent website we developed for them was in 2009. The focus of Active Ireland had shifted and the new website development needed to reflect the new culture of the organisation.
Active Retirement Ireland is a national network of over 500 local Active Retirement Associations with over 23,000 members. ARI believes that older people have the right to be full and participative members of our society. ARI combats ageism through the reality and everyday work of the self-organised local associations and the regional councils. ARI has a large voluntary base with local, regional and national voluntary committees.
The purpose of Active Retirement Ireland is to enable retired people to enjoy a full and active life and to advocate for them. The website development has been created with these objective as our guide to creating a real resource and communication tool to facilitate these endeavours.
