Water is an essential but soaring costs are leaving too many older people cutting back.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Sign the #TappedOut petition for a single social tariff in England and Wales so no one has to ration this basic: campaigns.independentage.org/page/187255/...

Were you at #LDConf last week?

We took our giant tap to call for fairer water bill support for older people on low incomes. Where you live shouldn't dictate whether you can afford your bills.

Did our giant tap at #LDConf grab your attention? 💧

Too many people in later life are rationing water because of unaffordable bills. We're calling for a single social tariff in England & Wales to change this.

We've had a brilliant day talking to the public and #LDConf attendees about our call for a single water social tariff in England and Wales!

Did you spot the tap? 🚰 There's still time for you to sign the #TappedOut petition: campaigns.independentage.org/page/187255/...

Lovely to catch up with @stevedarlingmp.bsky.social and Jennie at our tap 💧

Too many older people on low incomes in England and Wales are rationing their water usage to get by. It doesn't have to be this way.

If the UK Government worked with water companies to introduce a single social tariff in England and Wales, up to 578,000 older households could be lifted out of water poverty 💧

The number of older people living in water poverty in England and Wales could rise to one million by 2029/30.

Water is an essential. Nobody should have to worry about whether they can flush the toilet or wash.

#TappedOut: Too many people in later life are having to think twice about using their washing machine and even showering

Water is an essential. Let's make support meaningful and fair with a single social tariff in England and Wales

We'll be outside the Brighton Centre with our GIANT tap until 3pm today.

Come on down to find out how you can help us end the postcode lottery of water support.

We're at #LDConf with our GIANT tap to call for fairer water support

Your postcode shouldn't decide if you can afford your water bills. A single water social tariff in England & Wales would lift older people out of poverty

A giant silver tap sits on the Brighton promenade on a bright sunny day. "Fairer water bills so no one is #TappedOut" is written across the front while water bills emerge from the spout. A sign next to it has more information on the #TappedOut campaign. The sea can be seen behind along with the old Brighton pier.

Water bill support shouldn't depend on your postcode💧

Jane Asher, Sheila Reid, Sue Holderness & Vincent Ebrahim support our call for a single water social tariff to provide consistent help for those who need it. Will you?

Photos of actors Jane Asher, Vincent Ebrahim, Sue Holderness and Sheila Reid sit at the bottom of a graphic. Text reads: Water isn't a luxury, it's an essential. Nobody should be forced to ration it. Jane Asher, Vincent Ebrahim, Sue Holderness and Sheila Reid have signed the #TappedOut petition for a national social tariff to support people on a low income with their water bills, will you?
