We need to approach ageing in the next 20 years, like we have the environment in the previous 20 years.

Most of us have never really stopped and thought about what the real impacts of ageing may be and what our life and that of our loved ones might be like, once the challenges of later life inevitably start to arise.
We also may not have thought about the opportunities that ageing represents at a personal level and the opportunities that our ageing nation represents to us at a society level (UK and global).
As human beings we are hardwired to ignore our ageing as well as the ageing of our friends and family. Despite being 40, 50, 60 or beyond we all still feel 20 years younger on the inside. And there is nothing wrong with that!
The important thing is to try and tweak that hardwiring just a little bit and be proactive (not reactive) about Action for Ageing!
