Civil service pensioners alliance
Later Life Ambitions
Later Life Ambitions brings together the collective voices of over a quarter of a million pensioners through the National Federation of Occupational Pensioners, the Civil Service Pensioners’ Alliance, and the National Association of Retired Police Officers Association.
We aim to encourage today’s decision makers to confront the challenges of tomorrow.
Who are the LLA
Later Life Ambitions, or the LLA, is formed of three founding organisations, CSPA, NARPO and NFOP. We all share the same goal of ensuring that the voices of those in later life are heard, in 2014 we joined forces to form Later Life Ambitions. For the past decade we have campaigned for the rights of pensioners across the UK.
The manifesto: What we're campaigning for
By 2030, there will be almost 13 million people in later life. They will have aspirations for themselves. The issues pensioners face today will also impact on future generations of pensioners, unless today’s policymakers are willing to confront the challenges now. This manifesto lays out our vision for a better deal for older people.
- The UK Government to create an Older People and Ageing Commissioner for England and Scotland.
- A National Social Care Service integrated with the National Health Service that remains free at the point of delivery
- The UK Government and the devolved administrations to combat digital technology’s role in social exclusion and access to services
- All political parties to make manifesto commitments to guarantee the State Pension triple lock for at least the duration of the next Parliament.
- All new homes to meet the Lifetime Homes standard with a national strategy for more adaptable, accessible homes across all tenures.
- Investment in local bus and rail services for uprated concessions and for improved accessibility and assistance for older people on all new bus and railway stock and facilities.

The election toolkit
This toolkit has been created to support members to engage with local candidates in the election, including guidance on how to find out who your local candidates are, how to contact them and what to say. It has been designed to be as user-friendly, straightforward and simple, because we want everyone to have their voice heard.
