Louise Morse, @dementiabooks, writer and speaker for the @PilgrimsFS society, loved @johnswyatt’s latest book because it views older people the way Scripture does: with purpose.

Every day, we hear from older people across #Scotland who say they feel ignored and like their voices are not heard.
We're calling for an Older People's Commissioner to change this.
Singer & actor, @BarbaraDickson joins our #VoiceForLaterLife campaign.

On this #MoneywiseMondays, we are talking about where to get help if you’re in debt. People can fall into debt for all sorts of reasons. If debt is becoming a problem for you, you’re not alone and help is available.

Older characters are underrepresented in British films, with only 1 in 10 older characters involved in major plotline.
This paper looks at older characters in British films over the last decade, how often they're included and how they're portrayed.

We're relieved that the Government has abandoned plans to raise the state pension age early.
This would've hit carers, those in ill health and the many who find it impossible to get another job in mid-life, due in part to ageism, very hard.

On the third National Day of Reflection, we remember those who died during the pandemic, those whose lives were changed, and those who are grieving loved ones lost too soon.
May Jesus comfort those who mourn, heal hearts which are hurting and bring peace to those who suffer.

We are really disappointed that the Chancellor has ignored social care in the #springbudget. As our campaigners have said below "@Jeremy_Hunt, you've let millions of us down!"
The Government must end the long waits for care⌛

The overwhelming, depressing trend in adult #socialcare is that more people are requesting support but fewer people are getting it. This and more in our new Social Care 360 report out today. kingsfund.org.uk/publication…

Jesus offers every human being, regardless of age or ability, a full and abundant life.
The #ReimaginingCare report launching today gives me hope that we can rise to the challenge of fixing our broken social care system.
