Means-testing Winter Fuel Payment could leave many poorer pensioners worried about managing their finances and potentially putting their health at risk this winter. Please sign our petition: bit.ly/3A4hoyo

It is a difficult financial situation for many older people. A recent report from the Institute for Fiscal Studies (July 2024) shows that from 2011 to 2020 income growth for poorer pensioners lagged behind the general population, meaning that there is relative pensioner poverty.

We are stepping up our efforts to get as many older people onto Pension Credit as possible.  If you know of anyone who is on low income, get in touch with our Information & Advice team.  Call our Helpline on 0117 929 7537 or email us at [email protected].

Good luck to everyone playing in the Golf Day with Everyman Electronics tomorrow. Thank you for raising funds for Age UK Bristol!
