At Age Watch, we believe growing older should mean more years of good health, not more years of illness. Our mission is to help people live longer, healthier lives by turning the best medical and scientific evidence into clear, practical health information.

We are a not-for-profit project, free from advertising or commercial sponsorship, dedicated to:

• Making reliable health information accessible and easy to act on
• Supporting behaviour change that helps prevent chronic illness
• Sharing evidence-based strategies for healthy ageing
• Highlighting wider social and economic issues that affect long-term wellbeing

Since launching in 2011, we have partnered with researchers, advised policymakers, and explored creative approaches to ageing well – from the role of art in dementia care to the impact of unhealthy food production on public health.

Age Watch have:

• Partnered in the Research Council project Dementia and Imagination, which explored how art can support people living with dementia.
• Led a multidisciplinary study with Pro Bono Economics, reviewing the health and economic costs of mass-producing foods high in sugar, salt, saturated fat and refined carbohydrates.
• Submitted evidence to the House of Lords Committee on Intergenerational Fairness and Provision, helping to inform national debate on ageing and equity.

Our aim is simple: to help people make informed choices for longer, healthier lives.
