Northern Ireland and Wales have a Commissioner for Older People and Ageing but England does not. Why not? We’re calling for an independent commissioner to champion the rights of older people in England. Find out more here: ageing-better.org.uk/commiss…

Barrage Balloons, Eric Ravilious, c.1940. Another of his unfinished #WW2 watercolours, the ghostly figures seem to give it even more impact. The original artwork is in the collection of @TownerGallery.

The price you'll pay for gas and electricity has fallen by 7% today. But bills remain much higher than before the energy crisis hit, and it's the last predicted fall for now... Thinking of fixing? We've help to decide if now is the right time👇 moneysavingexpert.com/utilit…

There is nothing funny about #Alzheimers disease and other forms of #dementia, but people with these conditions and their loved ones who are #caregiving often find humor can help keep their relationships from becoming purely task-oriented and all about the disease.

Millions of people in the UK are providing unpaid care, yet a considerable proportion do not identify as, or call themselves, a carer. The next Government must improve identification and recognition of carers. Sign our open letter here: go.carersuk.org/446hgcr?utm_…
Red graphic Text reads: The Government gets away with not paying for a huge caring service that is being provided for free, often by women. We urgently need to increase public awareness and education so that it is not an expectation of women to take on caring roles.” - an unpaid carer Carers UK
