Almost 160,000 pensioners live in poverty in Scotland - more than at any time in nearly 20 years. It's time to change our systems to deliver security, not struggle, for older people in Scotland. Ahead of 2026's Holyrood election, we're calling for action. www.independentage.org/policy-and-r...

Post from Independent Age discussing their manifesto to reduce pensioner poverty in Scotland. Text reads: Security not struggle: A manifesto to reduce pensioner poverty
1. Implement a national Pensioner Poverty Strategy
2. Appoint a Commissioner for Older People
3. Deliver a decent and dignified social security system
4. Reduce energy bills
5. Guarantee the right to a secure and affordable home

Sadly housing is a huge issue in the UK still. As the insecurity posed for renters, where the fear of being asked to move becomes more stressful as one gets older. So glad @ageingbetter.bsky.social is highlighting this

The job market is changing and employers are facing huge challenges. There are skills and labour shortages with vacancy rates at record highs. Workers in their 50s and 60s are key to filling these gaps. Yet employers are missing out on all that older workers can offer.

If I've understood correctly, it's good to hear that @unisouthampton.bsky.social is helping work on safeguards for the use of AI in public services and healthcare. AI inclusion in those services is a very scary prospect for so many people and even affects whether some will engage at all.

Good morning! Today, I hope you feel at peace because of all you say and do to make our world better. When you feel discouraged that change isn't happening, know that we believe it's happening in ways you can't see now but will someday. What you do matters. (Image: Karolina Grabowska from Pixabay.)

Repairing damp, cold and hazardous homes could save millions for the NHS.

The image shows that £595 million could be saved each year if serious hazards were removed from homes. Examples of home safety hazards include mice, bad wiring, loud noise, structural damage, mould and more. An older man walks up stairs. It would take an estimated £4.6 billion investment. This investment could be repaid in 8 years. The repayment would be by saving £595 million per year.
