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
Social Care – where are we and where do we go next?
The term “dementia tax” has become a buzzword in the general election campaign. What does it mean, and why has it suddenly become the focus of renewed political attention?
What do the manifesto pledges mean for the future of social care?
While the political parties offer different solutions on social care in this election, there are some clear themes that emerge.
Manifesto overview: what the parties are promising older people
The three major parties have now published their manifestos, and there are clear differences between them on issues of importance to older people.

Later Life Ambitions is about communicating the real voices of pensioners, and future pensioners to politicians and policy makers. To do, this we need your involvement. We are calling upon older people, and their friends and family, to share their stories, and experiences, to ensure that we are able to fully represent your views.
