| Annotation | Age Concern and Help the Aged became one charity on 1st April 2009 and this report is their "opening manifesto" for achieving their aim to improve the lives of older people. This report sets out the policy agenda and priorities for change drawing on the traditions of previous annual reports of both charities: Age Agenda and Spotlight. The report sets out not only what the charity would like to see change, but also incorporates research carried out to ascertain the views and experiences of older people themselves. Age Concern and Help the Aged are "committed to ending pensioner poverty; legislation to outlaw all forms of age discrimination; and reform of care and support that provides better quality, improved access and fair, affordable funding arrangements." The report discusses the following policy areas: citizenship and equal rights; income, finance and benefits; care services and residential care; health and health care; housing, local amenities and social inclusion; education, employment and volunteering; and international development. Many of these themes are covered in a set of 35 at-a-glance key indicators. (KJ/RH). |
