| 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 has aimed 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 final report suggests that voluntary organisations and funders must be prepared to do new things and to do them in a different way. What is required is the end of age barriers, and adapting to capitalise on the talent of the whole population. Although there is a need to be age awarer, at the same time thre is a need to be "age neutral", promoting well-being for longer lives.
