This summer, our staff and volunteers went above and beyond to support older people through heatwaves. We're so proud of them and the work they do.

This week, Downing Street opened its doors for an event to thank people across the Third Sector for supporting vulnerable people during an extreme summer. Our CEO Paul Farmer took colleagues from across the Age UK Network to tell the Prime Minister about the impact the weather has had on older people, and the work our fantastic teams have done to support them through it.

Thank you to everyone who helps us support older people when they need us most πŸ’œ
