100 years after first state pension 2.5m still live in poverty
One hundred years ago today the first pensioners went to the Post Office to collect a State Pension of 5 shillings a week. In 1909 half a million people over 70 got a pension. Now they number over 12 million, with more than 700,000 people reaching State Pension age in
2009 alone.
Britain's biggest pensioner organisation – the National Pensioners Convention (NPC) – is using the anniversary of introduction of the first ever state pension to call on the government to eradicate today’s growing pensioner poverty.

A Simple Gesture to Boost Morale
If your company's feeling the economic pinch it is hard to avoid making your employees worried about job cuts. You want to keep spirits up, but budgets are tight and getting tighter, people are stressed and you may feel tense and irritable yourself.
A simple but powerful and free(!) gesture that will lift your employees' spirits is sending a note of appreciation to people on your team. Be specific about what you value in each individual, and when you can, mention a detail that will positively surprise the recipient about your level of awareness.
