This week Age UK campaigners gathered outside HM Treasury to let them know that older people #CantWaitForCare. Over 31,000 people signed our letter calling on Sir Jeremy Hunt MP to act. The Budget is his opportunity to help the 2.6 million older people unable to get #socialcare

"Unfortunately, when it comes to the perspective & rights of older women they're often overlooked in discussions when it comes to women’s empowerment & gender equality. We unfortunately continually see older women ignored at #CSW." Said Justin Derbyshire at HelpAge International #CSW67 event. 👏

📢 We're conducting our 2023 round of research about older people's mental and physical health. We want to hear from older people and from friends and family who want to share their loved ones' experiences on their behalf. 📝 Take part now: bit.ly/3YW8MSE

Each year 1000s of people aged 50+ share their experiences and insight with us. What we hear is HUGELY important and shapes what we do and how we do it all year round. Please spread the word so we reach as many people in later life as we can.
