DEMO AT SCOTTISH PARLIAMENT THURSDAY 30TH SEPTEMBER 2021

The theme: “Digital Equity for All Ages”

On 30th September 2021, the SPF held their yearly demonstration outside the Scottish Parliament to mark UN International Day of Older Persons and although the clouds decided to open as we arrived it certainly didn’t dampen our spirits. This year’s theme, Digital Equity for All Ages, was particularly pertinent considering the drive towards online services which has left older people digitally excluded and isolated at a very vulnerable time in their lives.

SPF Chair, Rose Jackson thanked everyone for their continued support for the organisation with welcome contributions coming from Monica Lennon MSP, Carol Mochan MSP and Mercedes Villalba MSP and our affiliates at Unite Glasgow Retired Members, Dundee Pensioners’ Forum and UNISON Scotland
