Later Life Ambitions
Later Life Ambitions aims to encourage today’s decision makers to confront the challenges of tomorrow.
About the Campaign
Later Life Ambitions brings together the collective voices of over a quarter of a million pensioners through the National Federation of Occupational Pensioners, the Civil Service Pensioners’ Alliance, and the National Association of Retired Police Officers Association.
Our members have ambitious aspirations for the next generation of pensioners.
From fair pensions to safe and sustainable care services, and from accessible housing to regular bus services to promote independence, we require bold and forward-looking action from our political leaders.
With your support, we want to change the terms of the debate – to focus on the ambitions of pensioners rather than the perceived ‘costs’ to the rest of society. So we urge you to join us in calling for an aspirational and ambitious future for those in later life.
Making your voice heard
Later Life Ambitions has created a toolkit to help you write to your local candidates to put forward our policy proposals and ask them to commit to representing your views in Parliament should they be elected.
You can find and download the toolkit here, where there is also additional information about how you find our who your local candidates are, and how you can raise older people’s issues with them.
Campaign Updates
We must stop pitting the generations against each other
Later Life Ambitions is passionate about promoting intergenerational fairness. That is why we are campaigning for policies which benefit every generation, such as building more affordable housing in all regions of the country, removing the barriers that prevent old people from resizing their homes
Later Life Ambitions responds to State Pension Age announcement
The government has announced its intention to accept the key recommendation of the Cridland Review and increase the State Pension Age from 67 to 68 over two years from 2037. This is 7 years earlier than the current legislation which sees a rise between 2044 and 2046. The change will affect everyone born between 6 April 1970 and 5 April 1978.
