Today is National Employability Day, an annual opportunity to highlight the contribution of employment support in helping people move into work, writes Elena Boninsegni, our External Affairs Manager for Work.
Our ‘A Tale of Two 60s’ research shines a light on how life has changed for people aged 60-69 over the past two decades and how a large minority are living precariously in their later life.
A new Centre for Ageing Better report warns that more than one in four people in their 60s are living in financially precarious circumstances - and their numbers are set to grow significantly over the next few years.
Following the publication of our Age-friendly Engagement Toolkit, join this virtual event with project partners Involve to learn more about the importance of an age-friendly approach to citizen engagement and how to use our toolkit.
Last month, Ageing Better published our report into the Support to Succeed programme in Greater Manchester developing new approaches to employment support.
This toolkit brings together guidance, case studies and templates to make it easier for local places to meaningfully involve older residents in decisions affecting their lives.
This week is Carers Week, an annual opportunity to highlight the challenges faced by carers and the contributions that they make, writes our Head of Communities Charlotte Lewis.
