Today is International Day of Older Persons and this year, we're celebrating the integral role of older people in our communities.
Here is Mary, one of the residents engaged in our Ageing in Place Pathfinder, reading a poem about the importance of place to people as they age.

Nick Robinson on R4 Today has just referred to pensioners as ‘the wartime generation’, despite the fact that most of them weren’t even born until the 1950s

TY Claudia @IE_OlderPersons! Looking forward to reading the report!
An #AgeFriendly society creates a supportive environment where people of all ages can thrive, stay active, and feel included.

Do you know someone aged 66 or over?
They might be missing out on #PensionCredit and the extra support it provides such as the #WinterFuelPayment
Encourage them to check today gov.uk/pension-credit
#PensionCreditWeekOfAction
ALT If you know someone aged 66 or over they could get the Winter Fuel Payment - or the equivalent in Scotland - alongside other benefits if they are receiving Pension Credit. Eligibility criteria apply.
Paul McGarry retweeted
Winter Fuel Payments will now be targeted towards pensioners who receive certain income-related benefits such as Pension Credit.
Around 1.3 million households across England and Wales will continue to get the payment this winter.
