We endorse the statement from the Older People's Commissioner regarding Winter Fuel Payments. This is not a devolved issue and we will lobby the UK Government to reverse the decision. @talkolderpeople #winterfuelpayments #pensionerpoverty #costofliving

Thank you to everyone who joined us on the Senedd steps today to protest the lack of public toilets. #PisforPeople #publictoilets

We've launched our manifesto, calling for UK and Welsh Government to provide more public toilets, integrate the health and social care systems, improve social housing, invest in public transport, and take action against ageism and age discrimination.

Yesterday we spoke with Newyddion about @WalesSnrsForum petition calling for better funding and support for public toilets in Wales. An issue and concern we hear alotfrom older people. The interview is due to air on Saturday

[Wales Seniors' Forum @WalesSnrsForum]

@KDavies30 Agreed. Parents, people with disabilities, taxi drivers, delivery drivers, menstruating people, it affects everyone!

[James Shaughnessy @ACG_James]

Please sign. The lack of public toilets is a real factor in stopping older people remaining active and independent within their communities.

[Disability Wales @DisabilityWales]

The cost-of-living crisis is a constant source of worry for disabled people, with many anxious about their futures.

Last year, we published our 'Barely Surviving' report which shares the experiences of disabled people across Wales.
