What Can Be Done About Pensioner Poverty?: A Practical Awareness Session

Posted on: January 28, 2025

Citizens Advice Essex is offering a focused 90-minute session to raise awareness about pensioner poverty and equip attendees with practical tools to support older adults facing financial and energy-related challenges.
Pensioner poverty is a growing issue, affecting the health, wellbeing, and independence of older people. Many struggle to afford essentials, miss out on financial support like Pension Credit and Attendance Allowance, or face tough choices as living costs rise. This session will explore the causes of pensioner poverty, practical steps to reduce fuel bills and improve income, and ways to identify and support those in need.
Whether you’re a frontline worker or work behind the scenes, this session will provide actionable insights to make a difference in your community. Delivered by experts from Citizens Advice Essex, it will include real-world examples, referral tips, and practical strategies to ensure the most vulnerable get the help they need.
