Now it’s been announced that there will be a general election in July it is a great opportunity to lobby your local MP about the campaigns you feel most strongly about.
We are determined to ensure that the voice of people in later life is heard during the upcoming General Election. Our manifesto lays out our vision for a better deal for the 11 million people in later life throughout the UK. We want all candidates to help change the terms of the debate to focus on the ambitions and hopes for the future rather than the perceived ‘costs’ to the rest of society.
As part of Later Life Ambitions we have created an election toolkit to help you, our members, get your voices heard. It is your step-by-step guide to making a difference this election year.
An election is a great time to lobby your MP about the campaigns you feel most strongly about. We will certainly be doing all that we can to raise our CSPA priorities at every turn, but how can you as an individual help?
We have produced an election toolkit to help our members engage with local candidates in the election, including guidance on how to find out who your local candidates are, how to contact them and what to say. It has been designed to be as user-friendly, straightforward and simple, because we want everyone to have their voice heard.
If we all stand together – we can make a difference.
