Retiree Foundation Proposal
Retirement is the first time in life when we have no structure to guide us, which is both good and bad. We have just published a proposal for creating a Retiree Foundation. The objective of the Foundation is to release the potential of individuals in later life for their benefit and for the benefit of our society, by providing a Retirement Structure.
Do take a look, we'd love to hear your comments on the proposal. Just click on the 'Ideas' tab in the navigation.

Coronavirus as an opportunity for inspiration
The latest output looks at how we can take advantage of the changes and watershed created by the Coronavirus situation as we emerge from it. It's a very difficult time but also a time of great opportunity for improving life in the UK as we emerge from lockdown.
