Stage for Age

It was the brainchild of the late television magnate Sir Ian Trethowan.  Robert Powell was its first Chair.

By fronting campaigns and fundraising events, attending events and photocalls, making personal appearances and giving Press and television interviews, the Stage for Age committee members promote a greater understanding of our vision of a world where old people are valued, involved and fulfilled.

As well as helping to raise the profile of our Charity, Stage for Age holds two major fundraising events each year: its unique carol concert, A Star for Christmas, in December; and its celebrity Golf Day in May.

The Stage for Age Committee, which comprises over 60 well-known celebrities, meets four times a year at the Sloane Club in London.  The current Chair is actress Sylvia Syms OBE. Lionel Blair is Vice Chair. The President is June Whitfield CBE; Vice Presidents include Brian Murphy, Robert Powell, and Diana Moran. Former officers include Nichola McAuliffe, Claire Rayner OBE, Seeta Indrani, Roy Hudd OBE, and Desmond Rayner.
