Beverley and Holderness MP Graham Stuart will meet the Chief Officer of Age UK in the East Riding, Julie Woolley, this Friday to discuss older people’s issues and learn more about the charity’s work in the area.
Graham, who became one of Age UK’s “Age Champion MPs” in June, will meet Julie at Age UK’s office in Beverley. By signing up as an Age Champion, MPs agree to work to help make the UK and their community a great place to grow older.
Graham said,
“I’m looking forward to meeting the Chief Officer of Age UK, who do fantastic work supporting people across the East Riding and championing their interests. I was delighted to become an Age Champion MP this summer and am determined to stand up for older people in the House of Commons.”
“We all know people today are living longer than ever before. This is a tremendous thing, but it means it is increasingly important to cater properly for people in later life.”
“For my part, I am glad that this Government is standing up for older people by delivering the triple lock on pensions, protecting universal pensioner benefits and investing in our NHS so that it can meet the challenges of the future.”
Well, I wish Graham luck but I have contacted this charity about a number of things and never found them to be able to help.
