We are applying for £25,200 from the Comic Relief Futures Lab Sustainability Fund to upgrade our digital infrastructure.The demography of older people is changing. More people are working longer, phasing their retirement through part-time work or volunteering. Many are supporting their family to nurture grandchildren, and have care responsibilities of their parents. This is all in addition to issues of their own, from life events such as divorce, bereavements, health problems and financial pressures.These conditions make our services ever more important, and we need to change our communication strategy to reach this audience, one which can often be isolated due to their circumstances.

Across the UK, 1 in 6 pensioners live in poverty. The impact of this is severe – individuals go without food, heat and adequate clothing just to make ends meet. The Norwich Older People’s Forum has identified that financial hardship is one of the biggest issues facing older people in the city, where 7,000 older people are estimated to live in poverty. Age UK Norwich will provide specialised advice and support for older people in Norwich who are experiencing severe financial hardship to enable them to maximize their incomes (by accessing benefits and managing energy bills), improve their financial literacy, and manage and overcome debts.
