Nobody should feel invisible in later life or that they have to face their problems alone.

We need a #VoiceForLaterLife to ensure we are all heard as we get older.

Ask your MP to support our calls for an older people's champion today on the @IndependentAge website: https://t.co/Tq3bLTmSjR

The government’s health reforms are clear: shift care from hospitals to communities, focus on prevention, and embrace digital transformation. With NHS England planning guidance out earlier this year, now is the time to stop talking and start acting.
