Age UK has launched #ActNowAgeBetter - because getting older is a privilege, but one that can have many challenges. While we can’t prevent ageing, we can all take action to help us age in the best way possible.

Act Now, Age Better | Age UK Age UK is encouraging everyone to move more for a better later life.

I’m supporting the new @age_uk campaign, #ActNowAgeBetter encouraging everyone to change the way we age - starting with how getting more active in your 50s-60s can lead to a happier, healthier, more independent later life.

We’re delighted to have the support of Dr Hussain Al-Zubaidi for our new #ActNowAgeBetter campaign 💪💜

Having formed habits that helped him prioritise physical activity, Dr Hussain has worked with Age UK to create a free leaflet to help you improve your lifestyle. Download it here: bit.ly/4kOvwyl

Take on a #summer challenge for Age UK and help raise much-needed funds while you raise your heart rate!

Whether you chose to take on a sky dive, or take on an epic adventure on the ground, challenge yourself and make a difference for older people this summer: bit.ly/4ksIuRW

Trevor has karate lessons, is part of a line dancing class, and plays in a band. All of this means his body can often feel the effects, but it still doesn't stop him from being active 🥋 🕺 🎸

I was pleased to attend @ageuk.bsky.social's Spring Reception in Parliament earlier this month. With an ageing population, it’s vital we act now to support healthy, active ageing for all.

I took time to #ActNowAgeBetter by doing some exercise in their living room "gym"!

Great to join the Age UK Spring Reception in Parliament to support their #ActNowAgeBetter campaign. I even gave their living room gym a go - the less said about my technique, the better! We must build a society where everyone can age healthily and with dignity.

As ‪Age UK pointed out, we’re living longer, and with the right choices, we can also live better.

That’s why I was pleased to join them, as we launched #ActNowAgeBetter - encouraging everyone to move more for a better later life.

Movement works wonders!

Lots of constituents asked me to attend Age UK's Spring Reception - and I was glad to be there.

Their #ActNowAgeBetter campaign is a vital call to support healthy, active ageing.
