May 28, 2026 / Sarkiya Ranen /


If you’re a millennial aged between 31 and 45, how do you feel about growing old in the UK? We would like to hear about your experiences of the UK healthcare system, housing and income, and your thoughts on the future.

Healthcare: In your experience, has healthcare been reliable and efficient? Have you ever experienced significant delays in A&E for procedures, operations, or referrals?

Housing and income: Do you feel secure in your job and housing? What percentage of your earnings goes towards your housing costs? Do you have disposable income? Do you own your home, rent it, or live with your parents/family?

Growing old: Do you worry about how you will be cared for in your old age? Do you have a pension? Who do you think will take care of you when you’re old?
