We regularly hear that accessing health and social care are the top priorities for older people across Scotland. Thanks to @scotgov Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care @neilcgray MSP for visiting us to learn more about people's experiences and how they can be improved.

The Chancellor's decision to means-test the Winter Fuel Payment will come as a blow to many pensioners in Scotland struggling on low incomes. Our helpline can carry out a free benefits check to make sure you're getting all the support you are entitled to. ☎️ 0800 12 44 222

@ellieokwilson I am in awe of you. Your bravery, resilience and composure during this whole process is nothing short of inspirational. Thank-you. We edge just a little closer to a judicial system that doesn’t deliberately and strategically put women and not the accused in the dock.

I fought the law and I WON! After being subjected to a humiliating ordeal in court by my rapist’s defence lawyer, I started the arduous process of submitting a complaint. I had to study the law, compile it all myself, facing off against a team of lawyers… and it’s been upheld!

We were concerned to find that in our #BigSurvey that only 8% of over 50s are satisfied politicians treat older people’s issues well. To help strengthen older people's voices, we've been campaigning for a Commissioner for Older People in Scotland. ➡️ age.scot/commissioner

📻I'll be speaking to @StephenJardine on @BBCRadioScot from 9am about the impact and scale of loneliness on older people (and anything he asks about!) for @agescotland. Tune in!
BBC Radio Scotland@BBCRadioScot

The cost of living crisis on top of the pandemic has been linked to an increase in isolation and loneliness. As the Scottish Government launches a new near £4 million fund to help people who are lonely, we want to know is that you?
