  PENSIONERS' CHARTER

  Every man and woman on reaching state pensionable age will have the right to:

  • a basic state pension set above the official poverty level and linked to average male earnings.

  • a warm and comfortable home.

  • free health care treatment based on clinical need and an annual comprehensive health check.

  • free community care and services to assist living at home.

  • free long-term care.

  • free nationwide travel on all public and local transport.

  • free education, access to and participation in leisure and cultural activities.

  • goods, services and benefits without age discrimination.

  • active engagement and consultation on national and local issues affecting older citizens.

  • advocacy, dignity, respect and fair treatment in all aspects of their lives.
    
    As a first step towards establishing these rights we call on the government to implement the Pensioners’ Manifesto.
