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.

We would be grateful if you could also share this with other retirees.

Later Life Ambitions responds to the Chancellor’s Spending Review
Later Life Ambitions (LLA) welcomes the Chancellor’s assurances in the Spending Review today that the pensions triple lock will be protected for another year. Whilst difficult decisions have undoubtedly had to be made to protect the UK’s economy, LLA is calling on the Government to provide long-term certainty to pensioners that the triple lock will continue.
CRA and Later Life Ambitions join forces to encourage older people back to charity shops
Later Life Ambitions have joined with the Charity Retail Association to support their initiative to match potential volunteers with charity shops, and to support older people to return to their volunteering roles.
How has coronavirus impacted those in later life?
COVID-19 has affected every aspect of everyone’s lives and it is important for Later Life Ambitions (LLA) to understand the specific implications for older people. We regularly survey those in later life through our three partner organisations and in April we asked for feedback on how coronavirus has affected your life. Thank you to all who took the time to respond. We are pleased to share the results of this survey with you here.
