Who are the All Party Parliamentary Group for Longevity (APPG)? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

The APPG for Longevity was established in March 2019 with the aim of addressing the scientific, technological and socio-economic issues relating to our ageing demographic whilst promoting living younger, healthier and longer lives. The party has created a 2020 plan, which aims to transform the issues associated with ageing into \u201cone of the most promising opportunities of the 21st<\/sup> century\u2019\u201d.<\/p>\n

The APPG have worked closely in partnership with numerous groups such as Public Health England, Behavioural Insight Team, Centre for Ageing Better, Health Foundation, Kings Fund, and Ageing Research Centre (ARC) at King’s College London. They have also worked with leading academics, entrepreneurs, scientists and business figures in order to implement changes within the National Strategy.
