Across Scotland, people are living longer - but too many older people are experiencing loneliness, struggling with rising costs and feel disconnected from the world around them.
For many, growing older can mean going days without speaking to anyone. Having fewer conversations as services move online. Having decisions being made for you, not with you. As we age, we can begin to feel invisible, unseen and unheard when our needs matter most.
The silence of old age.
But it doesn’t need to be this way. At Age Scotland, our helpline, friendship service, support for local groups and national campaigning all work together to create a Scotland where older people have purpose, a place to belong and a voice.
