Age UK launch ‘Let’s change how we age’ 

Age UK has launched a new campaign and 5-year strategy entitled: ‘Let’s change how we age’. 

Let’s change how we age focuses on the need for a national conversation about age and is structured around three key areas: 

  • Working shoulder to shoulder with older people to transform public attitudes 
  • Tackling poverty and inequality 
  • Ensuring older people’s health and social care needs are recognised and fully met
