The 2021 Census reveals almost one in five of people living in England is aged 65 or older. This only furthers the case for an Older People and Ageing Commissioner.
Deepening devolution to metro and county regions is a key strand in the government's approach to Levelling Up. This will create huge potential to make older people's lives better.
We urge the government and communities to do more to adapt for our ageing population, in response to new England & Wales Census 2021 data released today.
