When dealing with uninvited salespeople at your door, don’t sign any paperwork unless you’re happy that you understand what you’re agreeing to.

Always take your time to make a decision and get a second opinion from someone you trust.

As an unpaid carer, it is important that you can take care of your own needs while carrying out your caring role.

Our guide can help you understand your rights as an unpaid carer, your entitlement to support and how to access it.

Ageism is so ingrained in society we often don‘t notice it. Comments add up - limiting work, impacting health and feelings of value.

We're supporting #AgeWithoutLimitsDay to question ageism. When we question it, we start to change it.

Last week, our Prevention and Interventions Department attended the Shout Out Scammers event at Mortonhall Garden Centre.

We worked alongside Age Scotland and Ace It, to raise awareness of new scam techniques, crime preventions, online safety and much more.

Communities up and down the country are really struggling without their banks and free to use cash facilities, each demanding the introduction of banking hubs to fill that hole – and they are right to do so. Read more from @MWilliamsHT in @heraldscotland

What a great day at The Kelpies with 40 fantastic fundraisers who climbed to the top and abseiled back down in support of older people in Scotland.
Thanks to everyone who donated so generously, and @Scotrail & @NetworkRailSCOT for their support.

Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions you can make.

The rise in the energy price cap from July will be particularly unwelcome news to households. Governments should put together a plan to better support those on low and modest incomes.

We’re proud to be working with @agescotland, our official charity partner until 2027.

We're joining @IndependentAge and others to call for an end to the unfair mixed-age couple rule locking 70,000 pensioners out of vital support.

Nobody should be punished financially for their relationship. #FixMixedAgeRule.
