Baroness Sally Greengross set up ILC UK (ILC) 25 years ago. She had a vision of an organisation which looked at the future in the light of demographic change. She wanted to work as part of a global movement and focus on the impact of longevity on all ages not just older people.

We are determined to deliver and build on Sally’s vision. Our strategy will help us do that.

Governments and businesses increasingly recognise the importance of longevity. They understand that longevity is having an economic as well as social impact. They understand the spending power and political influence of older consumers.

But as a society, we are still failing to grasp the opportunity of longer lives. We want to create a positive, solution-focussed vision for the world. We want a world where we all live happier, healthier and more fulfilling longer lives and where future generations are better off. We want to forge a new vision for the 100-year life where we all have the opportunity to learn across our lives and where new technology helps us contribute more to society.

We want to place longevity at the heart of government and business planning and thinking. The forthcoming general election is an opportunity for ILC to paint a new picture of the demography of the UK. Our Longevity White Paper will to help us do this.

For us to deliver our vision we need your help. We are part of a movement, and we rely on others to help us. Please get in touch.
