We're the UK’s leading authority on the impact of longevity on society
Our impact
We provoke conversations and discussions about the impact of longevity on society, and what happens next.
Over the last decade we have:
-
Published 400+ policy reports and held 500+ events in 20 countries across the world.
-
Convinced G20 Ministers to put greater focus on the prevention of ill health.
-
Held events at No 10, alongside G20 and G7 summits, the WHO and UN assemblies, with speakers including King Charles and Government Ministers from the UK, US, Canada, Japan, Singapore and South Africa.
-
Been instrumental in the setup of the UK Government’s first Older People’s Housing Taskforce to plan for future housing needs in an ageing society.
-
Encouraged the mortgage industry to end the practice of upper-age limits for home loans.
-
Worked with employers to prepare for an ageing workforce and develop age-friendly standards and practices.
-
Changed the media narrative around people having to work until they drop: now, it’s a more nuanced debate about fuller working lives, and how this benefits us all.
-
Created the first LGBT intergenerational project in the world, which has inspired others around the world.

What our partners say
“The ILC are policy and research experts on ageing and demographic change. They engage widely with decision makers and opinion formers and reach out beyond the usual suspects through their very popular events”
Lord Filkin, Chair, Centre for better Ageing
“ILC said they wanted this Factpack to sit on the desks of policymakers. I can assure them that last year’s Factpack certainly did. I’ve had many requests to bring hard copies back to the office.”
Tom Younger, Department for Work and Pensions
“The Drink Wise, Age Well report written by ILC helped us to get the issue of alcohol use and the over 50s to a much wider audience. ILC guided us expertly in the area of policy impact and engaging key players through their events.”
Julie Breslin, Head of Programme, Doing Wise, Age Well, Addaction
