OPA
The Occupational Pensioners' Alliance, OPA is a democratic, non-political organisation of occupational pensioners' associations in the UK. OPA was formed in October 2003 from a merger of the Confederation of Occupational Pensioners' Associations (COPAS) and the Alliance of Occupational Pensioners (AoP).
Together now, the OPA represents almost 1 million occupational pensioners from across the country and beyond. Speaking with one voice enables us more powerfully to engage with Government and Parliament on behalf of our members.
The OPA is affiliated to the National Pensioners Convention (NPC).
We are not alone! Some OPA Member Associations with web sites:
