We're a charity working to create a society where everyone enjoys later life.
About us
The Centre for Ageing Better is pioneering ways to make ageing better a reality for everyone, including challenging ageism and building an Age-friendly Movement, creating Age-friendly Employment and Age-friendly Homes. The UK’s population is undergoing a massive age shift. In less than 20 years, one in four people will be over 65. The fact that many of us are living longer is a great achievement. But unless radical action is taken by government, business and others in society, millions of us risk missing out on enjoying those extra years. We are a charitable foundation, funded by The National Lottery Community Fund, and part of the Government’s What Works Network.

Latest from Big Issue: A staggering 880,000 older people are eligible for pension credit but aren’t claiming, losing nearly £4,000 per year. Dr Carole Easton, chief executive at the Centre for Ageing Better, described this trend as “hugely concerning”. “The underclaiming of pension credit shows that when benefits are neither universal nor automated, it is often those who need it most who are least likely to claim,” she said. “[They are] therefore the most likely to miss out.” https://lnkd.in/eXY5V9gu
Older people in need risk missing out on pension credit benefit worth £3,900
