Powerful new report from Banking on Climate Chaos today 🔥 Despite the worsening effects of climate change, the UK’s 5 largest high street banks – @BarclaysUK, @HSBC_UK, @santanderuk, @NatWestGroup & @LloydsBank - provided a staggering $37 billion to the fossil fuel industry in 2022 alone 🤯

If we continue to constantly refer to #olderadults as "the elderly" within health, social care, third sector, gvt, & media we re-enforce age stereotypes & assumptions which dehumanises & others us. Stop it, I'm sick of it!

What #evidence did we find between the relationship between interventions and outcomes in our Places, Spaces, People & #wellbeing briefing? We have mapped the ways that different interventions can be associated with different outcomes > ow.ly/FEUC30l6VYG
