A2B is a non-profit organisation supported by The Atlantic Philanthropies. It works to help older people across Northern Ireland maximise their take-up of benefit entitlements. It  started operations in May 2007 and has 8 staff based in its North Belfast offices.

People can already use A2B’s  Benefit Calculator on this site. It’s an online questionnaire A2B developed  to help older people work out what benefit entitlements they’re due. 

With advice and age sector organisations, A2B developed Advantage, a certified training course which provides people with the specialist skills and knowledge needed to work with older people.

A2B is jointly developing ways of linking existing information systems used by different organisations which help older people apply for benefits and to automate complex application forms whenever possible. We call this Form Filler.

Our Datamine of anonymised information on benefit uptake across Northern Ireland will help improve the effectiveness of future benefit uptake campaigns.

A2B is developing its Partnership Network of organisations which can help bring the message about benefit uptake to older people. It does this by supporting their outreach and community development work.
