The National Development Team for Inclusion (NDTi) is once again holding a two-day spring festival returns – this year the free virtual event will be happening on 16 and 17 May. 

Up to £70,000 of funding is available for an inspirational, life-enhancing idea, prototype, or plan to reimagine how personal mobility options in the UK can better support a rapidly ageing population.

The National Care Forum (NCF) is calling on the Government to move away from short term emergency care funding and commit to a longer-term and co-designed funded strategy, with greater focus on community and prevention services.

New analysis by Age UK has found that, on average, 79 older people died every day in England in 2021/22 while waiting for care.

A new free resource is now available from AAA members Age Space following research that has highlighted just how much time families and carers spend worrying about their elderly relatives.

“The crisis in the NHS is largely a crisis in older people’s preventive care, and if we’re to avoid another catastrophic winter in nine months’ time we need to act now to fix it,” warns Age UK

The National Development Team for Inclusion (NDTi) want to hear from social care commissioners and care providers about the care options available in their local areas.
