2020 will be another important year for us. For years, we have been searching to develop our own place in which we can run services and activities for older people in Sheffield. Our Stage 2 Lottery bid will be submitted by March and we should find out in the summer whether our project will be funded. At a national level, Age UK are lobbying the new Government to respond to older people’s needs for good quality health care, social care, housing and money. We have summarised the Age UK manifesto in this magazine. Locally, we continue to keep the pressure on Sheffield City Council and the local NHS to improve services for older people. We also took the first step in celebrating the amazing contribution older people make to our city with the first Age Friendly Sheffield awards, and planning is already under way for the 2020 edition. We know for some older people it gets a little more difficult to do some of the simple everyday things
