Our Campaigns Manager, @johnmcgeachy.bsky.social, spoke at today’s @londonassembly.bsky.social Transport Committee Accessibility and Inclusive Transport Planning report launch. The report has welcome recommendations on more meaningful involvement of people facing transport barriers in planning.

New Morden station toilets are open! 🙌🚽Thank you to campaigners on the Alliance, More Loos for Merton, @carolinerussell.bsky.social @ageuklondon.bsky.social and others.

Great campaign from @agewithoutlimits.bsky.social which we support. Our research shows that over 60% of people do not feel comfortable enough to call out ageism. Lets change that. Let's all call out ageism! #CallOutAgeism bsky.app/profile/agew...

New toilets now open at Morden Underground station - including a gender-neutral toilet, an accessible toilet and baby-changing facilities 🚽 We hope this momentum continues alongside work to increase awareness about the locations of toilets 👀 @carolinerussell.bsky.social

This attached thread has some of the toilet campaigning history along with @londonlooalliance.bsky.social, @ageuklondon.bsky.social, @inclusionlondon.bsky.social and many others. bsky.app/profile/caro...

🚽 Good to see the Mayor has unveiled toilets at Morden using the £15m budget (over five years) that I persuaded him to allocate for new toilets on the TfL network. There's still an urgent need for more toilets across London, we don't want to be overtaken by New York!

Today the Mayor of London has published a Progress Report on the Age Friendly London Action Plan. London's Deputy Mayor for Communities and Social Justice @debbieweekesb.bsky.social has written a blog for us about the report www.ageuk.org.uk/london/publi... #AgeFriendlyLondon

Attended @ageuklondon.bsky.social important drop-in on ending long A&E waits and corridor care. Heard directly about the reality people face locally, and no one should ever be treated in a corridor. We must bring down these dangerous waits for good!

Older Londoners rely on the Freedom Pass every day — for independence, wellbeing, and supporting their community. Age UK London has launched an open letter urging London Councils to protect it. bit.ly/freedompasso... Add your name and stand with us. #FreedomPass #AgeUKLondon

Have you escaped the flu virus so far? Did you know that if you are over 65 you can still get a free flu vaccine until end of March. Watch the video to find out why you should get your flu vaccination. #FluVaccine @nhsenglandldn.bsky.social

Thanks to the panel members at #AssemblyEconomy for sharing the challenges faced by London's unpaid carers, including older carers. More must be done to support older carers in London, to relieve the physical and mental strain, and financial hardship they're experiencing.

Thanks to @ellybakeram.bsky.social for raising the importance of the Freedom Pass to countless older Londoners, at yesterday's MQTs (full clip below). Age UK London will continue to work to protect the Freedom Pass. webcasts.london.gov.uk/Assembly/Eve...

We welcome the announcement but believe the Freedom Pass will remain under scrutiny. We continue to campaign against any changes to the Freedom Pass. Join our campaign subscribe here bit.ly/MailingSubsc... www.standard.co.uk/news/transpo...

The Mayor's Oxford St transformation project is now underway in earnest. The first meeting of his development corporation board highlighted the many challenges ahead, not least the neighbourhood politics minefield. Here's my report: www.onlondon.co.uk/oxford-stree... #london #oxfordstreet

Age UK London is opposed to any changes to the Freedom Pass. It will affect the lives of older Londoners who rely on their Freedom pass. Do we want thousands of older people stuck in their homes, unhappy, lonely facing a miserable future? As we said the clue is in the name! bsky.app/profile/insi...

We were pleased to see many MPs speak out in support of travel concessions for people over 60 in yesterday's debate. These concessions can be lifeline for many older people. We were pleased to discuss this matter with @tonyvaughanmp.bsky.social prior to the debate.

Great piece by @davehillonlondon.bsky.social about bus service cuts in the context of Londoners making fewer journeys. As the article says, those on lower incomes are more likely to depend on buses compared w/ other modes. Cuts have a bigger impact on this group. www.onlondon.co.uk/dave-hill-bu...

This is great to see from @andyburnham.bsky.social. Early morning concessionary travel restrictions have a significant impact on many older Londoners. @sebdance.bsky.social @london.gov.uk please can you follow this good example. It will make a big difference.

Great article by @davehillonlondon.bsky.social well worth a read. More and more older people are living in the capital. I met some who live in the hip and groovy borough of #camden www.onlondon.co.uk/camden-knowl... #london #truelondon

Happy New Year. Follow us on Blue Sky in 2026 - a local election year - we have a lot of campaigning work to do on behalf of older Londoners. We will keep everyone updated here.

Taking the seasonal flu vaccine is the best way to protect yourself and the person you care for from flu As a carer you are entitled to free flu jabs, book yours today: https://www.carersuk.org/help-and-advice/your-health-and-wellbeing/flu-jabs

We submitted evidence to #AssemblyTransport investigation into the walkability of London's pavements. The report mentions our submission many times, highlighting the disproportionate impact of street clutter and damaged pavements on older Londoners when walking and wheeling 🚶‍♀️🦽

It was was great to be at Elders Voice (host of #AgeFriendlyBrent) yesterday for the launch of the Progress Report for the Age Friendly London Action Plan. Great to hear from Deputy Mayor for Communities @debbieweekesb.bsky.social about @mayoroflondon.bsky.social’s work. Our Chair, Tony, also spoke.

We look forward to seeing the toilets at Morden Station open soon @londonlooalliance.bsky.social

But all-in-all, a good start on the toilet front (station accessibility not withstanding). I'm looking forward to TfL keeping up the momentum – or even doing more – whilst taking pride providing transport - and toilets - for London. 🥳 Thanks @ageuklondon.bsky.social for phenomenal organisation!

Hear from Avnish from Hallmark Foundation about the importance of public toilets. We're so grateful to Hallmark Foundation for supporting the work of the London Loo Alliance🚽 Follow us at @londonlooalliance.bsky.social to keep up to date with our actions tomorrow #WorldToiletDay

‼️#WorldToiletDay is TOMORROW! 🚽Tomorrow, the London Loo Alliance will be touring the transport network to inspect some of TfL’s public toilet facilities to see which stations are ‘on a roll’ and which stations are ‘loos’ing out. ✅Follow @londonlooalliance.bsky.social for more details!

Hear from Stephen Mercer from the British Toilet Association about the need for central Government to legislate to require local authorities to provide public toilets 🚽 📹Tag us in your posts about why public toilets matter to you! @londonlooalliance.bsky.social

As a proud member of the London Loo Alliance, we are pleased to be marking #WorldToiletDay on 19th Nov. It’s one week to go until the Alliance take to the streets of London to demand better public toilet provision for the capital. Follow @londonlooalliance.bsky.social for more details! 🚽

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them. #RemembranceDay #ArmisticeDay

Great @bbclondon.bsky.social piece on bank branch closures in London. Closures are leading to financial exclusion for many older Londoners and there are far too few banking hubs being set up. 🧵(1st video of 2)

More than £4bn in benefits will go unclaimed in London this year: 'Too many people miss out' The @london.gov.uk Policy in Practice campaign to help pensioners in London access the support they're entitled to is making a difference & will be extended. www.bigissue.com/news/social-...

👉Age UK London is preparing a campaign looking at ageism in London & would love to hear from people about their experiences & if they have experienced ageist attitudes & how it has made them feel All voices matter!

We're grateful to @joannemccartney.bsky.social for her recent question to @mayoroflondon.bsky.social asking how City Hall plan to support older Londoners as we approach the winter months. We look forward to reading the Mayor's answer soon ⬇️ www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/w...

Thank you @krupesh.co.uk for raising the issue of step-free stations, especially for Outer London. Step-free stations are vital to making the capital's transport network accessible for all, including older Londoners 🚉

I’m proud of our Pension Credit campaign, but too many Londoners are still missing out on vital support. That's why City Hall is working to reach even more Londoners as we build a better, fairer city for everyone.

We are thrilled that Dorset Council has become the 100th place in the UK to become an Age-friendly Community. The local authority joins a growing network of places representing more than 30 million people that also includes Greater Manchester, Hertfordshire and Cardiff.

Thank you @london.gov.uk for supporting the successful Pension Credit campaigns, that have made a real difference to the lives of older Londoners on low incomes.
