We want to create a better society for everyone as we grow older.
As a campaigns community, we speak out about the issues older people face. We also want to play our part in making sure that older people across the UK can participate in campaigns that will influence the decisions that affect them personally.
That’s why we have created these resources – and why, by doing this together, we will create a better society for all of us as we grow older.
Make change happen: Your campaigning toolkit
We have created this campaign toolkit to help you realise the power you have to bring about change and the control you have over your future. We want you to use this resource to build your confidence in campaigning and improve everyday experiences for yourself and those around you.
This letter template could help if you want to reach out to a decision maker directly about an issue or to your local MP or MSP to ask for their support for your campaign.
These resources have been designed to help guide your research into decision makers in England and Scotland and navigate the structure of local government.
Social media can be an effective way to let people know about your campaign. These tips can help you to use it to its full potential to support your work.
