Political parties urged to make life better for older people in Wales

From pensioner poverty to digital exclusion, from keeping homes warm to bank closures, the Age Cymru manifesto Our Blueprint for Wales highlights key challenges facing older people in the run up to July’s general election. We urge the next UK Government to help tackle pensioner poverty by making sure older people get what they’re entitled to and are supported in other ways.

This general election matters for older people. Worn down by the pandemic and cost of living crisis, many are yearning for a more positive future for themselves, their families, and generations to come – and are eager to help bring it about.
