The Centre for Ageing Better has commissioned OPM to help understand more about barriers, enablers and opportunities for volunteering by disadvantaged people in later life.
Accessible homes aren’t just a priority to meet the needs of our ageing population, they are also essential to meet the needs – and rights – of disabled people of all ages to suitable homes. But building more accessible homes has to be part of the answer to housing our ageing population well.
By 2024, there will be 18 million people aged 60 and over – 3.1 million more than today. More than one in four of us will be over 60.
The government has an opportunity to address the challenges and seize the opportunities of an ageing population, to ensure everyone enjoys a good later life.
