What matters to you? 

This is Age Cymru’s sixth annual survey undertaken in partnership with the four national older people’s organisations. This year we heard from 1700 people aged 50 or over from across Wales about what really matters to them.

Older people told us about accessing health and social care, digital inclusion, employment, experiences of being unpaid carers, finances, and representation in society. We also heard about accessing public transport, housing and getting out into communities.
