Elderly Mental Health & Cost of Living Data

The UK has already seen a rapid drop in temperature this winter.

With the cost-of-living crisis already affecting people of all ages across the country, this drop in temperature is sure to have a knock-on effect on how much people are spending on electricity and gas usage.

Unfortunately for the elderly, who need to heat their homes more to stay warm, the rising electricity and gas prices due to inflation mean that monthly finances are just not enough. The cost-of-living crisis is especially affecting the elderly who not just need to use electricity and gas more, but who already have low pension incomes.

With prices of everyday items and medications rising, monthly budgets are not adding up. The elderly desperately needs more support to stay warm and healthy this winter. View the infographic below, by the Equity Release Warehouse.
