Do you need a mid-life MOT? Now you can! Read on...

A ‘mid-life MOT’ has been designed by The Pilgrims’ Friend Society after a poll found more than half of individuals aged 40 to 60 are worried about their later years.

The MOT is among a range of new resources published after a survey found 54% of adults in the 40-60 age bracket are frightened of later life. The YouGov research, commissioned by the charity, came after the latest census results show the number of adults aged 65-plus in England and Wales rose to more than 11m in 2021, up from 9.2m in 2011.

The evangelical charity has now launched a campaign, Getting Real About Getting Older, to help people prepare for later life. The MOT encourages individuals to consider some essential questions, such as ‘who am I and what changes would I like to make?’. The campaign also includes films with older people about their experiences.
