A Tribute to our Wonderful Ambassador, Baroness Fritchie DBE
Published on 17 March 2026 03:42 PM
We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our Ambassador Baroness Fritchie DBE and extend our deepest condolences to Rennie’s family at this time.
Rennie led an extraordinary and successful life, and we were delighted that she chose to be our Ambassador over the last 2 years. Rennie was passionate about older people not merely being heard, but to be wanted in the conversation influencing change. Rennie advocated for people to embrace the latter part of their lives; and to live them to the fullest.
Rennie’s enthusiasm and positivity was infectious, and we feel immensely proud that she helped us to raise our voice around the importance for all communities people to age well, their way.
Whilst she will be greatly missed, her legacy will live on for many years to come.
