Every 8 minutes another older person dies in poverty in the UK.* That’s 68,000 every year. It’s unacceptable. But there is a solution.
Please join thousands of kind people across the UK and add your name to our Pledge Against Pensioner Poverty.
Pledge to stop older people dying in poverty
Right now, older people are calling our Helpline because they can’t afford to buy food or pay their bills and have to make difficult decisions on a daily basis. For many, life has become unbearable.
Life-changing financial support does exist, but many older people aren’t given access because the system is so difficult to navigate. Together, we can help unlock it.
Every single day, £8 million in financial support is not being received, because older people on a low income can’t get to it.
With your support, our team of specialist advisors can unlock the money older people are entitled to – £4,000 on average. That’s enough to put food back on the table.
Please take 1 minute to pledge your support
Add your name to our Pledge Against Pensioner Poverty today – and help stop an older person dying in poverty.
