OUR MANIFESTO
This manifesto sets out our vision for a better future not just for our members, but for the 11 million people in later life throughout the UK.
​
We urge you to join us in championing this vision. This is our call for action.
We call for:
-
The UK Government to create an Older People and Ageing Commissioner for England and Scotland.
-
A National Social Care Service integrated with the National Health Service that remains free at the point of delivery.
-
The UK Government and the devolved administrations to combat digital technology’s role in social exclusion and access to vital services.
-
All political parties to make manifesto commitments to guarantee the State Pension triple lock for at least the duration of the next Parliament.
-
All new homes to meet the Lifetime Homes standard with a national strategy for more adaptable, accessible homes across all tenures.
-
Investment in local bus and rail services for uprated concessions and for improved accessibility and assistance for older people on all new bus and railway stock and facilities.
