Occupational Pensioners' Alliance
The OPA is a democratic, non-party-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 the interests of over 2 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.
See "The Scope and Objectives of the OPA".
 The OPA is affiliated to FairPensions (Click here to download Self-Assessment Questionnaire. )

A summary and the full report on the OPA 2008 Members' Survey is now available here.
