Policy and research

We're passionate that everyone should have the opportunity to make the most of later life. Policy and Research is an important part of Age UK’s work because it has the power to transform older people's lives for the better.

We seek to influence decision makers by conducting social and economic analysis, developing public policy proposals and shaping policy agendas in a wide range of areas.

Policy positions

Our agreed policy positions cover the key issues that affect the lives of older people.

Reports and publications

We make accessible the findings of our research on the older population for free, on a range on topics including loneliness, digital inclusion and state pensions.

For more information call the Age UK Advice Line on 0800 169 8787 (10am-4pm, Monday-Friday, except bank holidays).
