These Age Scotland calendars are brilliant. Packed full of information and beautifully illustrated. Plenty of room for your reminders and appts too. What's not to love!

It didn't go our way today, we have an amazing team of volunteers and staff and everyone is devastated at the moment 😢 but we are fighters and the older people who depend on us are at the forefront of our minds right now whilst we try to find a way forward.

Thank-you to everyone who turned up today and made this event celebrating LGBT history month such a success. Great discussions, great partnership with LGBT Health and Wellbeing Age Action Group. Much to do but it had to be jazz hands for the photo 😆😆@Sufly9 Brian Green Age Scotland

On #InternationalWomansDay let’s stop penalising women for the unpaid but vital contribution they make out with of the workplace and close the pension pay gap #IWDPensionGap

So happy to see our Age Scotland TV advert on STV. Our #helpline provides information, advice and friendship to older people who have no one else to turn to. Great working with Electrify on this 👍

We were concerned to find that in our #BigSurvey that only 8% of over 50s are satisfied politicians treat older people’s issues well. To help strengthen older people's voices, we've been campaigning for a Commissioner for Older People in Scotland. ➡️ age.scot/commissioner

We regularly hear that accessing health and social care are the top priorities for older people across Scotland. Thanks to Scottish Government Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care Neil Gray MSP MSP for visiting us to learn more about people's experiences and how they can be improved.
