| Annotation | The Commission on the Voluntary Sector and Ageing was established by New Philanthropy Capital (NPC) working in partnership with International Longevity Centre UK (ILC-UK), to put ageing on the agenda for the voluntary sector. Focused on England, the Commission aims to provide long-term and strategic thinking about how best the sector can prepare for and adapt to an ageing society in the next 20 years. This paper covers areas which the Commission thinks are of particular interest to the sector: relations between the different sectors; the health and well-being of an ageing population; an increasing use of the internet and new technology; the numbers of older people volunteering; changes in employment and retirement; and funding the sector. The paper is based on the Commission's full report (at www.voluntarysectorageing.org), which outlines the size and state of the voluntary sector, and includes key figures and data on England's ageing population.
