Member of the executive committee of the North West Pensioners Association and the National Pensioners Convention (NPC), which lobbies MPs on behalf of pensioners. Some of the successes achieved through NPC are the pensioners freedom pass, and the guarantee of the triple lock on pension rises.

Pauline is a member of Knowsley Older People’s Voice (KOPV) where she serves on their Steering Group. She also sits on the Older People’s Partnership Board, and the Management Committee of Healthwatch Knowsley, and attends the patient group at Aintree hospital.
