Ensuring older people receive the support they're entitled to would not only lift many out of poverty but also result in huge savings across health and social care spending.

The current system is failing older people but it doesn't have to be this way.

Did our giant tap at #LDConf grab your attention? 💧

Too many people in later life are rationing water because of unaffordable bills. We're calling for a single social tariff in England & Wales to change this.

We're at #LDConf with our GIANT tap to call for fairer water support.

Your postcode shouldn't decide if you can afford your water bills. A single water social tariff in England & Wales would lift older people out of poverty

@AndrewGeorge_ @LibDems @BenMaguireMP Lovely to catch up with @SteveDarlingMP and Jennie at our tap 💧

Too many older people on low incomes in England and Wales are rationing their water usage to get by. It doesn't have to be this way.

Too many people are missing out Pension Credit despite its potential to help with NHS costs, reduce Council Tax bills and more.

While we continue to call for a take-up strategy, our expert advisers can help with forms and guiding through applications.

It’s clear that the current system is failing too many older people.

We know that poverty in later life can have a serious impact on health and wellbeing. That’s why it’s essential that everyone receives the support they’re entitled to.
