Take on an event for Independent Age this year and help support older people going through financial hardship. You’ll achieve your new year’s resolution and transform the lives of those in need.

We have places in the most popular events including runs, treks, triathlons, skydives and bungee jumps.

When someone dies, it can be overwhelming and devastating experience. Support is available and you can reach bereavement experts by visiting our When someone dies page with the GriefChat where you can chat directly to a specially trained bereavement counsellor.

Our Coping with bereavement guide is an additional useful resource looking at how you might be feeling and where you can look for additional support when you need it.

Pension Credit provides extra weekly income to people who have reached State Pension age and live on a low income. People who claim may also be entitled to other benefits. Visit our money information pages to find out more.

Since 2019 we've been campaigning for the Government to ensure that everyone who is entitled to Pension Credit receives it. Find out more about our Credit where it's due campaign & how you can help.
