About us
The Centre for Ageing Better is tackling inequalities in ageing. We are working to make our homes, workplaces and communities inclusive of older people, as well as building an age-friendly movement so that society sees ageing in a more positive and realistic way.
Everyone has the right to a good life as they get older and our whole society benefits when they do. But far too many people face huge barriers that prevent them from doing so. As a result, many older people are living in bad housing, dealing with poverty and poor health and made to feel invisible in their communities and society.
Ageism, including discrimination in employment, stark inequalities in people’s health and financial circumstances, chronic underinvestment in helping people to age well and a lack of political focus – are all contributing to this growing and critical problem.
At the Centre for Ageing Better we are pioneering ways to make ageing better a reality for everyone. We aim to inspire and inform those in power to tackle the inequalities faced by older people, call out and challenge ageism in all its forms and encourage the widespread take-up of brilliant ideas and approaches that help people to age better.
Get it right and more of us can experience good health, financial security and be treated fairly and with respect as we grow older.
Help us make sure everyone can age better.
