Congrats to LTFC! We've had loads of call with our older people who never thought they'd see the day when we were back in the big time! ⚽🧡🥳 Also had a couple of younger fans stop by our office to see some great donations we've received! 😍 #COYH

Help us! We are planning a study of unpaid/family #caregivers from #ethnically diverse and #minoritised communities who care for people with long term or life limiting illnesses. We welcome comments from unpaid/family caregivers in our online consultation

A must read thread on the state of social care from Simon which really resonates.
There’s more here and the full survey, with all the NHS and health data, is released next week. https://t.co/RDrEv7ndpF 7/7

Many people we speak to provide care for their parents or grandkids. Those who need to work often have those same challenges plus low income. Most older folk say they are busier than ever!
@Ageing_Better Having secured my financial future, why would I want to apply for a job? Retirement should be a time for enjoying hobbies and doing my own thing! Plus, many retired friends have home responsibilities, such as looking after grandchildren and elderly parents!

What a fantastic end to Children’s Mental Health Week. Thank you to everyone for ‘Wearing bright and Shining bright’ and for the teachers who were amazing during an impromptu Flashdance routine. Dancing, singing and laughter really is good for all our mental health. #MentalHealth

It's 10 days away but I'm planning an @itvMLshow on 'everything you've ever wanted to know about pensions but we're afraid to ask (or didn't know who to ask)' so it'd help me to know what you want me to cover (Inc state pension, private pension, pension in retirement).

Whilst we don't deny Luton has its problems there is also a great deal to celebrate, not least great people!
For those of us who are born and bred in Luton, stories about the town being the ‘worst place to live’ are not only sensationally inaccurate they play a role in further demonising a predominantly working class community that has been particularly impacted by austerity, poverty…
