#MakeAgeingFair #Lab25 #LPC2025
A group of five women stand around the Penny Lane street sign in Liverpool while holding large placards made to look like pennies. They look seriously at the camera. The coins have various messages on them including the name of Independent Age's 'Make Ageing Fair' campaign, the charity logo and pledges to "speak up for the 2 million older people in poverty", "fight for older people in poverty to have lower bills and affordable rent" and "I want the 970,000 older people missing out on Pension Credit to receive it".
Nearly 2 million older people are living in poverty across the UK. It doesn't have to be this way, but small change won't fix this.
We're at the ACC for #Lab25 and we're calling for action in the Budget to #MakeAgeingFair. Join the campaign: https://www.independentage.org/make-ageing-fair
Will you help us change the game? ๐ฒ At @independentage.bsky.social we've created a snakes and ladders graphic to show the barriers older people face and the policy changes that could help bring them out of poverty. Campaign with us: www.independentage.org/campaign-wit... #MakeAgeingFair

Nearly a year on from the UK general election, we asked the public for their thoughts on pensioner poverty.
Despite stereotypes of intergenerational tensions, our new research shows that the public wants positive action to tackle poverty in later life.
