Our homes and communities are crucial in helping us to live healthy, independent and sociable lives - which in turn reduces pressure on over-stretched health and care systems. But, despite our ageing population, nearly all of our homes and most of our communities have not been built or developed with ageing in mind.
Government action on clean energy, the building of 1.5 million new homes, and the devolving of more powers to local areas offer a real chance to radically change this.
Our work
Homes
Too many homes don’t meet the needs of people in later life. We want everyone to be able to live in a safe and suitable home as they get older.
Communities
Our communities need to work for us at every age, but too often this is not the case. We want more people to live in communities where they can age well and live a good later life.
