👴 On #InternationalDayofOlderPersons we continue our call for a UN Convention on the rights of older people.

Older people are disproportionately affected by everyday rights violations, from NHS waiting times to social security cuts.

This #InternationalDayOfOlderPersons learn how our esteemed elders are impacted by #AirPollution and consider how you can support #HealthyAging.

Older people need more than care. They need connection, independence & the chance to contribute. Volunteers make it possible. At Helpforce, we strengthen these vital connections.

Happy #InternationalDayOfOlderPersons! 🎉

This year’s theme of rethinking systems for longer, healthier lives aligns perfectly with our mission and goal to create 100 million happier, healthier birthdays. Because we all deserve to age well and live with dignity, purpose, and security. 💙
