Older renters are at greater risk of poverty in later life but unaffordable housing costs are worsening the situation. Without intervention, the number of older private renters could treble to more than 1 in 10 by 2040. We all deserve an affordable home. https://t.co/I0nEHMoThA

2 in 3 older renters who receive Housing Benefit aren't receiving enough to cover their rent. With @crisis_uk and the Cover the Cost coalition, we're calling on the UK Govt to unfreeze Local Housing Allowance at the next Budget. Help us push for change: https://t.co/DkPon0RnI9

We welcome the Renters' Rights Bill's passing. For years, we've called for a better deal for older renters, and it’s good to see parliamentarians taking action. What the Bill won’t address is the quality and affordability of rented homes. This must change https://t.co/AZpDJV6wn8

Too many older people don't feel heard by decision makers. That's why we're calling for a Commissioner for Older People and Ageing alongside @NPCUK, @Ageing_Better and @age_uk. We had a great discussion at our #VoiceForLaterLife roundtable. https://t.co/DSSwBPKh1W

Too many older people are cutting back on essentials to get by but nobody should have to skip meals or live in a cold home in later life. It's time we deliver security not struggle for Scotland's pensioners. Read our new manifesto: https://t.co/7kDuxLbF4R
