The first hustings of the London mayoral campaign is about to start - but the Greens’ Zoë Garbett is the only one to show up. Sadiq Khan has sent his deputy Joanne McCartney, Lib Dems have sent assembly member Hina Bokhari AM 🔶, Tories have sent assembly candidate Cllr Nick McLean

It was great to be able to chair Age UK London’s hustings this afternoon and to hear the questions older Londoners put to the panel about making London a more age-friendly city #agefriendlylondon

Today we launched our Manifesto. We presented it to panellists at our hustings. It includes what we would like the Mayor to do about the issues that matter to older Londononers. Overall it is very simple, what we want is an age friendly London. bit.ly/2024manifesto

Thank you to Susana Mendonça and BBC London for covering yesterday’s Older Londoners Mayoral Hustings #LondonElects (2nd 2 minutes in tweet below 👇)

This is such an important piece of work: 1 in 4 older Londoners live in poverty so ensuring everyone who is eligible for Pension Credit receives it is a vital way to help them make ends meet #poverty #agefriendlylondon

I have just pledged my support for the Parky Charter. Add your name and together we can urge the government to make sure people living with Parkinson's have better access to health and care services and financial support campaign.parkinsons.org.uk/page/145665/pe…

Older Londoners are struggling daily with the cost-of-living. This is something that the new Mayor must address and help take them out of poverty with the support they need. We set out what we think the new mayor can do in our manifesto. bit.ly/2024manifesto

I’m delighted that Age UK London’s London Loos 🚽 campaign has been shorted for #SMKAwards2024 Community Campaign of the Year! It’s great campaign delivered by our staff team and brilliant campaigners across London to make a real difference to our city smk.org.uk/awards_nominat…

Excellent work by colleagues at Age UK London so that voters can be clear about what the London mayoral candidates are going to do to support older people.

Congratulations to Age UK London – shortlisted for Best Community Campaign in the #SMKAwards2024. Winners will be announced on 15 MAY. More details here smk.org.uk/awards_nominat… #LoveCampaigning

Great work by Age UK Campaigns, Independent Age and others! 👏 Very envious to hear that Caroline Abrahams met Larry the cat while handing the petition in at 10 Downing St

Great episode from Woman's Hour on ageing well, including a piece with three women from Age UK Camden's Older People's Advisory Group - well worth a listen! bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Well done #SMKAwards2024 #BestCommunityCampaign runner-up: London Loos Age UK London. They supported older people, many first-time campaigners, to press their local authorities to improve public toilet provision - a lack of which limits 1 in 5 people's options. #LoveCampaigning

Great to see recognition of the brilliant work of our #LondonLoos campaigners at the #SMKAwards24 👏

I love the gentle way British people completely change the country: 1. Have a cup of tea 2. Put on raincoat 3. Walk to a ramshackle area in a local hall and quietly pencil a cross into a box on a scrap of paper 4. Go back home and take off raincoat 5. Have another cup of tea
