Last month, as part of Later Life Ambitions, we launched our Budget for Later Life at the House of Commons.
But what is the LLA Budget for Later Life?
The Budget for Later Life builds on the 2023 Pensioners’ Manifesto, which received strong cross-party support. We are setting out a practical framework for action. This Budget is not only for our members, but for the 13 million people currently in later life across the UK.
By 2030, there will be almost 14 million people in later life, each with their own ambitions and needs. Unless today’s policymakers act with foresight, the struggles faced now will continue to affect generations to come. This Budget presents our plan for a fairer, more sustainable deal for older people. we urge you to stand with us and add your voice to our calls for a fair deal for living well in later life.
What we're calling for:
- Protecting the State Pension
- Reducing the tax on pensions
- Tackling the gender pension gap
- Supporting older people in the workplace
- A minimum income guarantee
- Widening access to public transport
- Making housing safe, secure, accessible and adaptable
- Supporting health and social care
