A young man stands talking to passersby as they admire an ice sculpture of an older man wrapped in warm clothes. The young man holds leaflets and tells them about the sculpture.

A close-up of an ice sculpture carved to look like an older man wrapping himself in blankets and wearing a woolly hat. The sculpture sits in an ice armchair.

It's been a year since our ice sculpture stunt ❄️

In Feb 2025, too many older people worried about managing without the Winter Fuel Payment. We had to act.

Speaking on TV, radio and online, we called on the UK Govt to ensure there was #NoOneLeftInTheCold.

Nobody should face poverty in later life. Do you agree? Nobody should be left out in the cold - so I've signed Independent Age's pledge, to help tackle poverty in later life. Will you help and sign this pledge too?

Today @independentage.bsky.social has placed an ice sculpture showing Rob, an older person, outside the Tate Modern. It represents the struggles pensioners face during winter. Everyone should have a warm, safe and healthy home. #NoOneLeftInTheCold

Rob is one of two million older people who can’t afford to turn on their heating this winter. Thank you for sharing your story, Rob. #NoOneLeftInTheCold. @independentage.bsky.social

Winter fuel payment cuts to push 100,000 pensioners into poverty Rachel Reeves was warned by Labour MPs that refusal to reconsider the policy could lead to more elderly people dying of cold

A bitter winter approaching where many older people living on a low income will be making even more severe cutbacks having lost the #WinterFuelPayment. UK Govt need to urgently reconsider this decision #NoOneLeftInTheCold

Independent Age reacts to new analysis suggesting 100,000 older people could be pushed into poverty by Winter Fuel Payment cuts The UK Government’s own analysis has now revealed estimated 100,000 older people could be pushed into poverty as a direct consequence of changes to the Winter Fuel Payment.

Worrying news today: an additional 100k older people could be pushed into poverty because of #WinterFuelPayment changes. Already 2 million too many people experiencing poverty in later life. UK Govt still has time to rethink #NoOneLeftInTheCold #PensionCredit www.independentage.org/news-media/p...

I'm supporting Independent Age by writing to my MP to ask them to do more support older people losing the #WinterFuelPayment. It's vital that the UK Government take urgent action to make sure there is #NoOneLeftInTheCold this winter. campaigns.independentage.org/page/160129/...
