PRAMA FOUNDATION

The Prama Foundation vision is to see 'a world where no-one is unfairly disadvantaged or excluded because of age or infirmity and where every person can enjoy life as they age'. In its work, and through subsidiaries, the Foundation provides tailored care to people at home, as well as promoting and supporting Communities For All Ages and activities that combat social isolation in older people.
