Please note that the APPG for Longevity was disbanded effective 27 January 2023. We are grateful to all those involved in supporting our work since 2019.
“This is a very important group looking at the most important single issue for society in the next 30 years”
Purpose
The All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Longevity was set up to address the scientific, technological and socio-economic issues relating to our ageing demographic and promote living healthier and longer lives for all. The APPG published the Health of the Nation Strategy in February 2020 setting out key recommendations to meet the government goal of five more years of healthy life expectancy by 2035 while minimising health inequalities (HLE + 5). Overall, the APPG aims to turn the ‘problem’ of ageing into one of the most promising opportunities of the 21st century – and secure Britain’s place as a global leader in longevity by providing access to the ‘longevity dividend’ to everyone equitably in society.
The Governance Framework for the APPG can be viewed here.
The APPG for Longevity goals in 2021 and 2022 are focussed on implementation of The Health of the Nation Strategy launched on 12 February 2020, and the follow-on recommendations in the report, Levelling Up Health, published on 9 April 2021. These include two key projects, Business for Health and the Open Life Data Framework.
