London Challenge Poverty Week

This week is London Challenge Poverty week (14-20 October) and we are highlighting the plight of older Londoners with a fifth of older Londoners living in poverty. • Pensioner poverty has remained at the same level for 10 years • 78% of pensioners in London will no longer receive Winter Fuel Payments

Age UK London is a charity that campaigns for an age-friendly London

We campaign for specific change to improve the lives of older Londoners. We also work to ensure that their experiences, needs and contributions are heard and taken into account by decision makers.
