6 Is DaneAge independent from government? Does DaneAge act on behalf of older people? We can not levy taxes we are obligated to our members and must therefore live up to their trust We should hit the mark, be aware of members' wishes, dreams, expectations and concerns We must think from the outside in We must stay abreast of future developments 6 IFA 11th Global Conference on Ageing - Bjarne Hastrup, CEO

7 Is DaneAge independent from government? Does DaneAge act on behalf of older people? A certain number of members is needed in order to be heard by politicians Members = resources for our work A lot of members provide access to more knowledge and more inspiration Finally members represent our market value it reflects public satisfaction with our performance and results 7 IFA 11th Global Conference on Ageing - Bjarne Hastrup, CEO

8 Is DaneAge independent from government? Does DaneAge act on behalf of older people? Membership renewals are scarily high 96% Three out of four members are satisfied or very satisfied 8 IFA 11th Global Conference on Ageing - Bjarne Hastrup, CEO

9 Is the current economic crisis a threat or an opportunity to NGO s The pessimists are leading the way and are talking down the economy Everybody talks about, how we cannot afford welfare We forget the principles and the ideas behind the universal welfare model Older people are sometimes portrayed as rich and spoiled in the public debate DaneAge is focused on the frail elderly's situation 9 IFA 11th Global Conference on Ageing - Bjarne Hastrup, CEO

10 Actual and potential political threats Local authorities will continue to downsize quoting the economic crisis and budget accountability User fees are imposed on practical home help A tax reform which completely ignores pensioners Indexation of state pensions Additional income modulation of state pensions Enforced online communication with the public sector 10 IFA 11th Global Conference on Ageing - Bjarne Hastrup, CEO
