A look back at a powerful day.

ALONE launched its Strategic Plan 2026–2029, bringing together voices from across communities, Government and the sector to focus on what really matters for older people.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and continues to support this work 🤝

By 2050, 1 in 4 people will be over 65.
Our new Strategic Plan responds to the real challenges older people face — poverty, loneliness and barriers to support — with a clear ambition: to build a system that puts older people first.

[ALONE @ALONE_IRELAND]

This isn’t just an economic issue, it’s a human one.

[ALONE @ALONE_IRELAND]

Concern is growing over rising energy costs, and the human impact is real.

We encourage people to listen back to the recent RTÉ Radio discussion on this issue with David McCullagh, Ellen Coyne, Sean Moynihan and Ger Hyland.

For many on a basic pension, the only costs they can cut are heating, food, and social connection, with serious impacts on health and wellbeing.

[ALONE @ALONE_IRELAND]

Older people living alone are among the hardest hit. CSO data shows 10% are in consistent poverty and 30% are at risk figures likely to worsen following the removal of energy credits.

🧠 Brain Awareness Week​ ​

This #BrainAwarenessWeek, we’re reminding everyone that it’s never too late to support brain health 💙​ ​

Healthy habits like staying active, eating well, and staying socially connected are good for both the heart and the brain, especially as we age.
