Get a free weekly friendship call. We'll match you with one of our volunteers. Call in Time is flexible to suit the different needs of everyone who takes part.
We campaign for the things that matter most to older people. That means saving free TV licences for the over 75s, or fixing our broken care system.
We make the Government listen up and hear the voice of a generation who can't always speak as loudly as everyone else.
But we can only continue to change things with your help.
We want political parties to pledge to make life better for older people, especially those who need us most this election.
Free TV licences for the over 75s are under threat. The BBC and the Government are arguing over whose responsibility it is to fund this vital benefit, and older people are caught in the middle.
1.4 million older people struggle each day without the right help and support. We're in the midst of a care crisis, but the Government is too distracted to listen.
There's no age limit on domestic violence. But there is an age limit to the data collected on it - 74. We want the Government to make a number of changes to protect older people from abuse and make sure existing safeguarding services are appropriate for them.
Older renters can be evicted from their homes at short notice, even when they've done nothing wrong. This leaves so many people insecure and anxious about the future. We want the Government to make sure that's no longer possible.
Big wins. Easy ways to make an impact. Sign up to the campaigns newsletter to stay in the know and use your voice for good.
