ALT The image features the logo of "Independent Age" in the top left corner. Below it, text on a green background reads: "Older People’s Fund: Supporting older people experiencing financial hardship living in rural and coastal areas." Underneath, additional text states: "Our latest £1.2 million grants fund is now open for Expression of Interest." A faint map of the UK is visible in the background.

It's International #YouthDay!
Younger people are the older people of tomorrow — and older people were once younger people.
Generations have more in common than we might think. So why not join forces?
If we work together across generations, a better 🌍🌎🌏 just might be around the corner...
