Good to be on @BBCBreakfast this morning as we publish our sobering and concerning report about some of the oldest people in our communities in corridor care.

“Once people realise I’m still running at 89, they treat me as an inspiration … it does please me that they think, ‘I hope I can still be running at your age’.” 🏃‍♂️ Read Tom’s story on how he’s raised money for @age_uk and keeps active later in life: https://t.co/LLpB7Zgswp

Excellent piece by @WriteMcFarlane about older people especially her parents as we mark International Older Persons Day.

Our CEO, @paulfarmerceo is calling for more community and district nursing placements for student nurses. Expanding these roles is vital to deliver the NHS 10-Year Plan and ease pressure on hospitals. Read more 👉 https://t.co/XRHtmILvHv

In the NHS 10 Year Plan, the potential of the new neighbourhood health service is significant for older people and the work of the voluntary sector. Good to reflect on that today with @1adass colleagues today in Camden.

It's hot-please do share our guide for staying cool for older people:

A good day for millions of older people-the right decision by the Government.

Excellent work by ⁦@guardian⁩ Never think you’re too old’: meet the world’s fastest 75-year-old woman, plus 78 year old Stephanie Beacham and the 105 year old sprinter. Act Now Age Better!

Important and welcome news from the PM that the Government is looking again at winter fuel payments. It's exactly what we have called for in recent months. The details will be crucial to ensure that many more older people will be eligible this winter.

A very useful book for learning about #Saints- even when there aren’t papal #conclaves. And written by my father!!

If you’re wondering where the new #pope, #PopeLeoXIV has chosen his name from, here’s an extract from the Oxford Dictionary of Saints…🧵 

Pleased to be @ucl today to launch our Act Now Age Better campaign. Huge thanks to all the @age_uk team for getting the conversation started about what we can all do in mid-life to look after our health.

The best of luck to all runners at today’s @LondonMarathon and huge thanks to all the @age_uk runners and volunteers.

Pleased to be speaking this afternoon at the @wfpevents conference on the NHS 10 Year Plan as we head towards the publication in the next few months. Huge chance to improve the health of older people by placing a focus on community health and prevention.

A positive step forward towards a UN Convention on the Rights of older people. These are long term campaigns, so many congratulations to our @Age_Int colleagues for reaching this next milestone.

Thanks to colleagues @AgeUKSomerset for an excellent day learning about Chat and Map, active befriending , dementia support and much more.

Great to see my colleagues Caroline and Tom at the Health Select Committee today. At the same time our local Age UKs have been designing how we can support older people to have an even stronger voice!

Very good to speak yesterday at #ABIConf25 hosted by @The_ABI_UK on financial issues affecting older people, and to thank members for their support of Age UK.
